Adiposity and Low-Grade Systemic Inflammation Modulate Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Levels in Greek Children With Sleep Apnea
(2010)Background: Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) plasma levels correlate with C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations and they are both increased in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). No studies have evaluated MMP-9 ... -
Antioxidant capacity in obstructive sleep apnea patients
(2003)Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) results in oxygen desaturation and arousal from sleep. Free oxygen radicals are highly reactive molecules, which can be produced by the OSA phenomenon known as ... -
Association of tumor necrosis factor-alpha gene polymorphism (-308) and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome
(2012)Background and Aim: Elevated serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) concentration and a polymorphism of the TNF-alpha gene at the position -308 in the promoter region are associated with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea ... -
Cysteinyl leukotriene receptors in tonsillar B- and T-lymphocytes from children with obstructive sleep apnea
(2012)Objectives: Cysteinyl leukotrienes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of adenotonsillar hypertrophy in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This study aimed to quantify the expression of cysteinyl leukotriene ... -
Low Morning Serum Cortisol Levels in Children with Tonsillar Hypertrophy and Moderate-to-Severe OSA
(2013)Background: Hypertrophic tonsillar tissue in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has enhanced expression of glucocorticoid receptors, which may reflect low endogenous cortisol levels. We have evaluated the effect ... -
Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Excessive Daytime Sleepiness, and Morning Plasma TNF-alpha Levels in Greek Children
(2013)Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with increased frequency of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Increased plasma TNF-alpha levels may mediate this association in adults, but conflicting results ...
