Short-term effects of continuous positive airway pressure on oxidative stress in severe sleep apnea.

CONCLUSION: Severe OSA is associated with increased levels of saliva markers for lipid peroxidation, protein oxidative damage, and carbonyl damage. Even short-term CPAP partially prevents oxidative and carbonyl stress during the night and this can be monitored non-invasively using saliva. PMID: 30685847 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
