Proposed regulatory mechanisms of blood circulation for hypoxic adaptation in Tibetan chickens. These genes, marked with red color, are involved in HIF-1, VEGF, MAPK, mTOR, PI3K-Akt, Notch, Insulin, focal adhesion signaling pathway, Renin-angiotensin system, vascular smooth muscle contraction and oxygen binding. These pathways and genes indicate Tibetan chickens adapt to hypoxia by regulating angiogenesis and promoting blood circulation (green circles)56.
