Biomarkers in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Surgery

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Obstructive Sleep Apnea

In brief

Recent years have witnessed major advances in the understanding of the hormonal, metabolic, and biochemical changes that occur in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This project evaluates the biomarkers that measure the most significant health impacts of this disorder and creates a specimen bank that will facilitate evaluations of additional biomarkers in the future.
