Nonmuscle Myosin Light Chain Kinase: A Key Player in Intermittent Hypoxia‐Induced Vascular Alterations

Nonmuscle Myosin Light Chain Kinase: A Key Player in Intermittent Hypoxia‐Induced Vascular Alterations

BackgroundObstructive sleep apnea is characterized by repetitive pharyngeal collapses during sleep, leading to intermittent hypoxia (IH), the main contributor of obstructive sleep apnea–related cardiovascular morbidity. In patients and rodents with obstructive sleep apnea exposed to IH, vascular inf...
