Thiol‐disulfide as a novel indicator of obstructive sleep apnea

Description
Summary:Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an oxidative stress disease, which has been considered to be a notable risk and associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Thiol‐disulfide homeostasis is as a novel indicator of oxidative stress. Objectives We aimed to evaluate thiol‐disulfide homeostasis in a large patient population with OSA. Methods A total of 230 with OSA and 40 healthy controls were included in the study. Inclusion criteria for OSA patients are having apnoea‐hypopnoea index of ≥5/hour, being more than 18 years of age and having no previous treatment for OSA. Thiol‐disulfide analysis was done for the patients and control group. Blood thiol‐disulfide homeostasis was analysed using the new automatic method, developed by Erel and Neşelioğlu. Results Among all OSA subjects, 149 (64.8%) were males and the mean ages of the patients were 53.38 ± 10.22. Total thiol, native thiol (SH) and disulfide (SS) levels were significantly lower in OSA group compared to the control group (P
