説明
<p>Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), characterized by recurrent episodes of apnea during sleep and daytime sleepiness, seriously affects human health and may lead to systemic organ dysfunction. The pathogenesis of OSA is complex and still uncertain, but multiple surveys have shown that obesity is an important factor, and the incidence of OSA in people with obesity is as high as 30%. Adipokines are a group of proteins secreted from adipocytes, which are dysregulated in obesity and may contribute to OSA. Here, we review the most important and representative research results regarding the correlation between obesity-related adipokines including leptin, adiponectin, omentin-1, chemerin, and resistin and OSA in the past 5 years, provide an overview of these key adipokines, and analyze possible intrinsic mechanisms and influencing factors. The existing research shows that OSA is associated with an increase in the serum levels of leptin, chemerin, and resistin and a decrease in the levels of adiponectin and omentin-1; the findings presented here can be used to monitor the development of OSA and obesity, prevent future comorbidities, and identify risk factors for cardiovascular and other diseases, while different adipokines can be linked to OSA through different pathways such as insulin resistance, intermittent hypoxia, and inflammation, among others. We hope our review leads to a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of OSA based on the relevant literature, which will also provide directions for future clinical research.</p>
