Study Summary

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious sleep disorder in which a person's breathing is restricted during sleep. Obese individuals with OSA are at an increased risk of inflammation and heart conditions, but it is unknown whether this risk is related to the effects of OSA or obesity. This study will evaluate whether OSA or obesity plays the primary role in inflammation related to heart disease. The study will also determine the independent effects of OSA and obesity on insulin resistance and blood vessel function.
