Is resistin closely related to systemic inflammation in obstructive sleep apnea?
In OSA patients, resistin production can be enhanced by hypoxic stress during sleep, possibly mediating systemic inflammatory processes. nCPAP therapy may play a beneficial role in the control of resistin production.
We found that all of the studied dimensions of restricted fetal growth are independently associated with increased risks of low intellectual performance and that these associations are only partly mediated by socioeconomic or familial factors.
