Popis: Introduction Sleepiness in obstructive sleep apnoea is associated with cardiovascular risk; however, the biological mechanisms are not known. This study explored whether those with subjective sleepiness have increased plasma tumour necrosis factor-related protein 1 (C1qTNF1), a novel adipose-derived hormone (adipokine), and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) compared to those without sleepiness in newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve participants with obstructive sleep apnoea. Methods Overall, 94 participants were included in the analysis. Participants completed the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), 24-h ABP was monitored, and plasma C1qTNF1 was measured. Sleepy participants were defined as ESS≥10 and nonsleepy as ESS
