Relationships of orexigenic and anorexigenic hormones with body fat distribution in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Purpose: We aimed to examine the relationships of disease activity and risk factors with serum levels of orexigenic and anorexigenic hormones in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).

Methods: Fasting blood samples were taken for hormonal analysis of all participants, abdominal/neck bioimpedance measurements were recorded, and polysomnography (PSG) analyses were performed. According to the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), 34 patients with newly diagnosed OSAS and 34 participants without OSAS were compared.
