Abstract
- Obese humans are reported to have increased muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA). Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may also be accompanied by increased MSNA. Because there is a high prevalence of OSA in obese humans, it is possible that high MSNA reported in obese subjects may in fact reflect the presence of OSA in these subjects. We tested the hypothesis that obesity, per se, in the absence of OSA, is not accompanied by increased MSNA.<br />Journal Article<br />Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't<br />Research Support, U.S. Gov't, P.H.S.<br />info:eu-repo/semantics/published
