The correlations between the levels of cytokines, apnea, and obesity are not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sleep apnea, body mass index (BMI) and plasma levels of leptin, ghrelin, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α).

Abstract

The correlations between the levels of cytokines, apnea, and obesity are not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sleep apnea, body mass index (BMI) and plasma levels of leptin, ghrelin, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α).
