Effects of obesity on C-reactive protein level and metabolic disturbances in male patients with obstructive sleep apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, but the mechanisms underlying this association are unclear. Bercelo et al compare C-reactive protein levels and insulin resistance in obese and nonobese patients with obstructive sleep apnea, as well as nonobese healthy subjects.
