We found VWF rs1063856 (OR = 1.50, 95% CIs = 1.10-2.04; p = 0.010), IL-6 rs1800796 (OR = 1.32, 95% CIs = 1.11-1.56; p = 0.002), TNF rs1800629 (OR = 1.44, 95% CIs = 1.13-1.83; p = 0.003), and CRPrs2794521 (OR = 1.27, 95% CIs = 1.04-1.55; p = 0.021) were all significantly associated with increased susceptibility of OSA, while VWF rs1063856 (OR = 1.75, 95% CIs = 1.18-2.62; p = 0.006), IL-6 rs1800796 (OR = 1.39, 95% CIs = 1.10-1.76; p = 0.006) were associated with the severity of OSA.
C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL)-10, and leptin were all higher in the obese/OSAS group than in controls (P = .004, 0.026, and <0.001, respectively), and compared to OSAS-only patients, CRP (P = .013) and leptin (P = .002) levels were higher in the obese/OSAS group.
<b>Conclusions</b>: CRP levels in non-smoking OSA participants without comorbidities were increased relative to levels in healthy matched non-smoking control participants, suggesting that pharyngeal or systemic inflammatory effects attributable to OSA may elevate CRP.
Elevated C3a levels were directly related to obstructive sleep apnea severity, and were significantly associated with male gender, weight, body mass index, hypertension, high C-reactive protein and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p < 0.05).
Use of a MAD significantly improved polysomnographic parameters, quality of life, and some inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-β, and TNF-α) in a significant proportion of patients with moderate OSA and in some patients with severe OSA.
Plasma biomarkers of systemic inflammation were significantly increased in patients with moderate OSA (interleukin [IL]-6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-α]) and severe OSA (IL-6, TNF-α, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) when compared with controls (<i>P</i> < .001).
The study was conducted to investigate the association of CRPrs1130864 (1444C/T), IL-6 rs1800795 (-174G/C) and LEPR rs1137101 (Q223R) genes with OSA and NAFLD in Asian Indians residing in North India.
Four DEPs, namely C-reactive protein (CRP), Haptoglobin (HP),Fibronectin (FN1) and Platelet factor 4 (PF4), were further verified by ELISA and three of them (CRP, FN1 and Hp) showed significant difference in expression level between OSAHS and non-OSAHS groups.
Concentrations of tau, Aβ40, Aβ42, c-reactive protein (CRP), TNF-α, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-10 were measured in blood and compared between participants with moderate-severe OSA (n = 28), those with mild OSA (n = 22), and healthy controls (n = 24).
We assessed the association between ADPN and lung function by multivariate linear regression analyses and adjusted for age, gender, height, smoking habits, weight, body mass index, waist-hip ratio, metabolic syndrome, obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and C-reactive protein.
Meta-analysis revealed that serum CRP levels in the OSA group were 1.98 mmol/L higher than those in control group (95% confidence interval: 1.39-2.58, P < .01).
OSA increased serum levels of C-reactive protein and 8-isoprostane and elevated the expression of malondialdehyde, tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 in the pulmonary tissue.
The hypoxia parameters differed in all subgroup analyses of similar AHI groups (P < 0.001), and CRP differed only in severe OSA (P < 0.008, P < 0.001).
Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that male gender, snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, lower insomnia complaint, presence of metabolic syndrome, age ≥ 50 years, BMI >30 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, ferritin >300 μg/L, CRP >7 mg/L and duration of sleep ≥8 h were significant risk factors of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in major depression.
When ΔCRP was entered into a model predicting follow-up AHI, Δwaist circumference was no longer significant, indicating that inflammation largely explains the association between increasing central obesity and OSA severity.
We suggest that the successful surgical treatment for OSA-ESP in this study-, which provides OSA cure, can decrease serum levels of CRP and reduce possible cardiovascular morbidity.
Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that male gender, snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, lower maintenance insomnia complaint, presence of metabolic syndrome, age ≥ 50 & <65 years, age ≥ 65 years, BMI ≥ 25 & <30 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, BMI >30 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, and CRP >7 mg/L were significant risk factors of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in insomnia sufferers.
Correlation analysis indicated significant positive relationships between galectin-3 concentrations and the total number of coronary plaques (p < 0.001), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (p = 0.001), and severity of OSAS (p < 0.001).
In this study, we identified the variables that predict BP response to CPAP.24-h ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM), C-reactive protein (CRP), leptin, adiponectin and 24-h urinary catecholamine were measured before and after 6 months of CPAP in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients.Overall, 88 middle-aged, obese male patients with severe OSA (median apnoea-hypopnoea index 42 events·h<sup>-1</sup>) were included; 28.4% had hypertension.
