Systemic inflammation and sympathetic activation in gestational diabetes mellitus with obstructive sleep apnea

Abstract

OSA increased sympathetic activity, and IL-1β concentration was higher in patients with GDM with lower nocturnal oxygenation, all of which were related with obstructive events, and time in REM. Moreover, IL-1β was related with insulin resistance, and IL-10 inversely correlated with neonatal BW.
