Abstract:Background
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a potentially fatal sleep respiratory disorder, and hepcidin has been found to be related with OSAS onset and severity. This study aimed to examine the serum expression of microRNA‐149‐3p (miR‐149‐3p) and hepcidin in OSAS patients, and evaluate the predictive value of miR‐149‐3p and hepcidin for OSAS occurrence in obese population.
Methods
This study analyzed the data from 212 OSAS patients and 120 control individual… Show more
