Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of upper airway obstruction resulting in oxygen desaturations and sleep disruption. OSAS is associated with an augmented risk for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the association between OSAS and cardiovascular dysfunction. Low-grade systemic inflammation may contribute to the development of the cardiovascular and metabolic diseases associated with OSAS. The purpose of this review is to summarize current evidence on the association between OSAS and markers of systemic inflammation.
Keywords: Inflammation, inflammatory markers, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
