Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Influence of Hypertension on Adiponectin, Inflammatory Markers and Dyslipidemia

In conclusion, the biochemical findings of this study demonstrate predominantly low adiponectin levels, increased levels of inflammatory markers, and atherogenic lipid profiles in OSA patients with HT compared with those of the other patients studied. This highlights the possible contributing role of these factors to the pathogenesis of HT as a common cardiovascular complication in OSA patients.
