Background Leptin is an hormone that regulates body weight. Studies have shown
increasing leptin concentrations according to body mass index (BMI) and intermittent …

Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is a common disorder in obesity. Leptin, an
adipocyte-derived signalling factor, plays an important role in metabolic control. There is …

Background: There is growing evidence that leptin regulation is altered in obstructive sleep
apnea syndrome (OSAS). Several potential mechanisms have been purported to explain …

Purpose The role of leptin in the development of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) has been
identified. However, the effects of OSA treatment using continuous positive airway pressure …

Objectives Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is an effective treatment for
obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), but previous studies assessing the …

Background: The control of body weight and cardiac sympathetic function in patients with
obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS) are important because both …

Objective This study aimed to determine the association between the severity of obstructive
sleep apnea (OSA) and the serum leptin level in non-obese OSA patients. Methods This …

Background: Leptin levels have been reported to be higher in patients with obstructive sleep
apnea (OSA) than in control subjects with matching age and body mass index (BMI) …

Background Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is characterized by
repeated oxygen desaturation. Obesity and visceral fat accumulation (VFA) are risk factors …

Background This study aimed to determine how smoking alters the effect of positive airway
pressure (PAP) therapy on metabolic syndrome in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods …
