Oxidative stress does not contribute to the release of proinflammatory cytokines through activating the Nod-like receptor protein 3 inflammasome in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea

ConclusionsThe current study suggests that oxidative stress leads to inflammation by mechanisms other than activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in OSA patients. Furthermore, both sleep apnoea and BMI influenced the serum concentration of inflammatory mediators.
