Values are displayed as and represent mice. Statistical analysis was done by two-way repeated measures ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post-hoc test. versus IARD, versus IALA, and versus IHRD. IARD: intermittent air with regular diet; IALA: intermittent air with alpha lipoic acid; IHRD: intermittent hypoxia with regular diet; IHLA: intermittent hypoxia with alpha lipoic acid.
