Abstract
METHOD: All observed subjects were divided into 3 groups: 20 cases of normal subjects, 35 cases of simple OSAHS patients, 48 cases of OSAHS associated T2DM patients, IL-6 concentrations of serum were measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the changes of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) level in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and OSAHS associated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and their significance.
RESULT: IL-6 level was higher in the group of OSAHS with T2DM than the group of OSAHS and the healthy control group (P < 0.05); IL-6 level was higher in the simple OSAHS group than the healthy controls.
CONCLUSION: IL-6 and other inflammatory factors may involved pathological physiological process in OSAHS patients sugar metabolic abnormalities; and is associated with the development of OSAHS associated with type 2 diabetes.
