Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Methods: Plasma inflammatory cytokines, insulin resistance index, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and overnight cortisol suppression test with 0.25 mg of dexamethasone were performed in 22 severe obese patients with OSAS and 23 obese controls. Ten patients with severe apnea were re-evaluated three months after nCPAP therapy.
Results: Body mass index, abdominal circumference, blood pressure levels and insulin resistance indexes of OSAS patients and obese controls were very similar. In OSAS patients, adiponectin (p\<0.05) and salivary cortisol suppression pos DEX (p\<0.05) were lower, while heart rate (p\<0.05) and TNF-alpha levels (p\<0.05) were higher compared with obese controls. After nCPAP therapy, patients showed a reduction in heart rate (p=0.036) and a higher cortisol suppression after dexamethasone (p=0.001) and there were no differences in insulin resistance (HOMA p=0.139), arterial blood pressure (p=0.183) and adipokines compared with baseline. Cortisol suppression was positively correlated with the improvement of apnea hypopnea index while on nCPAP therapy (r= 0.799, p=0.010).
Conclusions: Patients with OSAS present nocturnal hypercortisolism, hyperactivity of sympathetic central nervous system, a higher degree of inflammation and hypoadiponectinemia independent of the body mass index. Furthermore, hyperactivity of HPA axis and sympathetic nervous system are recovered by nCPAP.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
A
10 patients with severe OSAS (Apnea Hypopnea Index of more than 30 events per hour of sleep) were treated with nCPAP for three months and all mentioned measurements above were repeated.
nasal continuous positive airway pressure
After an average interval of three months, 10 patients with severe OSAS (AHI of more than 30 events per hour of sleep) treated with a mean nCPAP pressure of 11.2 ± 0.7 cm of H2O were reassessed and all mentioned measurements above were repeated
