Yes, hypoxia can lead to atrophy, which is the decrease in size or function of tissues or organs. When tissues are deprived of adequate oxygen, they may not receive enough energy or nutrients to maintain their normal functions, leading to cell damage and eventual shrinkage. This condition is often observed in muscles and organs that rely heavily on oxygen for metabolic processes. Chronic hypoxia can exacerbate these effects, resulting in significant tissue degeneration over time.
