  1. Data are presented as mean ± standard error (n = 12 animals/group). a IH-35 vs SIH, p = 0,04; b IH-35 vs SIH, p = 0,03; c IH-35 vs SIH, p < 0,0001. SIH: sham intermittent hypoxia group; IH-21: intermittent hypoxia for 21 days; IH-35: intermittent hypoxia for 35 days; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; ALP: alkaline phosphatase.
