Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the roles of hepcidin and paraoxonase in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) by analyzing 88 patients with varying severities of sleep disorders.
- The results indicated that paraoxonase levels were significantly higher in patients who only snore compared to those with mild to severe OSAS, and there was a negative correlation between paraoxonase levels and the Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI).
- The conclusion suggests that paraoxonase could serve as a potential biomarker for OSAS, while hepcidin was not found to have significant relevance in this condition.
