HOMA2-IR, Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin resistance score; TRAIL, TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. Data were analyzed with the use of a 2-factor repeated measure ANOVA or ANCOVA. Post hoc analysis was performed using Student t-test with Bonferroni correction. p < 0.05 hypoxia versus normoxia.
