Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), characterized by intermittent
hypoxia/reoxygenation (IHR), is associated with atherosclerosis. Polymorphonuclear …

Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are at increased risk of atherothrombosis
independent of the Framingham risk factors. Studies on hemostasis factors in OSA are …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a highly prevalent breathing disorder in sleep, characterized
by intermittent and recurrent pauses in respiration, has emerged as an independent risk …

Endothelial dysfunction is involved in vascular complications of obstructive sleep apnea
(OSA). In this study, circulating microparticles (MPs) from patients with OSA-induced …

Rationale: Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are at increased risk for
cardiovascular diseases. Injury of endothelial cells has been advanced as an initial trigger to …

Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive intermittent
hypoxia and reoxygenation during sleep with elevated oxidative stress and promotes the …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and
mortality. Free radicals and adhesion molecules were implicated in the pathogenesis of …

Lattimore et al. in [1] have investigated the effects of 30 min cycles of intermittent hypoxia on
macrophage lipid loading and adhesion of monocytes to vascular endothelial cells in …

Purpose The relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and atherosclerosis-
related inflammation has been poorly investigated, particularly focusing on functional …
