Association oxidative stress with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome severity in menopausal women

Introduction: It is known that hypoxia during obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a stress factor which may change free radical homeostasis, manifested in reactive oxygen products deficiency and activation of lipid peroxidation. The data about oxidative stress and OSAS association are ambiguous. The aim of this research is to assess lipid peroxidation (LPO) and antioxidant defense system (AOD) parameters in menopausal women with different severity of OSAS.
