“…A close positive relationship has been noted between elevated levels of VCAM-1 and the apneahypopnea index [2]. A similar relationship exists between ICAM-1 and the oxygen desaturation index.…”

“…Similarly, higher P-selectin levels are an indicator of more severe OSA. Some studies have shown a similar association between L-selectin and OSA while others have shown no association [2,4].…”

“…In addition, Korzh et al [42] stated that the levels of VCAM-1, E-selectin, P-selectin, CRP, WBC count were higher in OSA patients than in control subjects [42]. Similarly, several studies found direct significant relationship between adhesive molecules and severity of OSA measured by ODI and AHI [43][44][45][46].…”

“…28 On the other hand, elevated plasma levels of various adhesion molecules and increased expression of adhesion molecules on leukocytes and their adherence to endothelial cells have been reported and are thought to have a role in endothelial cell dysfunction, formation of atherosclerosis, and clot formation. 29 Studies on OSA treated with CPAP have demonstrated improved insulin resistance, 30 a reversal of the inflammatory response as evidenced by a decrease in serum endothelin-1, 25 an increase in serum nitric oxide levels, 26 and a decrease in C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 31 , thus further supporting a relationship between OSA and the metabolic syndrome. Although these studies suggest a relationship between OSA and atherosclerosis formation, there is presently no definite evidence to prove this.…”
