Intermittent hypoxia (IH) alters preadipocyte phenotype and replicative capacity. Chronic IH was associated with a characteristic set of phenotypic changes such as flattened and enlarged cells (a) and a reduced multiplication ratio (MR) (b). Etoposide (ETO) was used as a positive control. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. P-values determined by one-tailed paired t-test compared to the normoxia (NO) control (n = 6 independent experiments).
