T regulatory lymphocytes and endothelial function in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea.

T regulatory lymphocytes and endothelial function in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a low-grade inflammatory disease affecting the cardiovascular and metabolic systems. Increasing OSA severity reduces T-regulatory lymphocytes (Tregs) in OSA children. Since Tregs modulate endothelial activation, and attenuate insulin resistance, we hypothesized that...
