Article Synopsis
- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is linked to issues with upper airway function, and it's unclear whether OSA causes obesity or if they share common risk factors; the study aims to explore this relationship through detailed analysis of body measurements in OSA patients and healthy controls.
- The research involved a case-control design with 40 OSA patients and 40 matched controls, assessing various anthropometric metrics like BMI, waist measurements, and skin-fold thickness to compare fat distribution and overall body composition.
- Results indicated significant differences in certain body measurements and fat distribution patterns between OSA patients and controls, suggesting a potential connection between OSA and obesity that may be addressed through targeted treatments focusing on obesity-related variables.
Background: Several pathogenic conditions leading to morbidity, including cancer, aging, diabetes, reperfusion injury, cardiovascular disease, and neurological disorders, are known to be exacerbated by oxidative stress. Antioxidant therapy is effective in the treatment of such disorders and appears to be a potential therapeutic technique to reduce oxidative stress. The aim of our study is to investigate the antioxidant effects of L-ascorbic acid and nitric oxide (NO) modulators on rats suffering from oxidative stress induced by acute restraint stress (RSx1).

While numerous studies have linked OSA with obesity, it remains uncertain whether leptin, a hormone associated with fat, plays a role in the functional and anatomical defects that lead to OSA. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate whether leptin levels could be used as a predictor of OSA syndrome (OSAS).

However, its path toward reality is still fraught with legal and ethical dilemmas. With the Surrogacy Act of 2021 coming into effect earlier this year, the present article aims to dissect the various legal nuances involved while also considering the societal norms governing the actual scenario at ground zero.
