Popis: Abstract Chronic inflammation induced by hypoxia during sleep is an important mechanism of microvascular damage in OSA patients. In this study, we investigated the role of the sphingosine rheostat, which has diverse inflammatory effects. Thirty-seven healthy subjects and 31 patients with OSA were recruited. We collected data on demographics and comorbidities. Plasma sphingosine-1-phosphate and ceramide antibody concentrations were measured by ELISA. The results were compared between the OSA and control groups, and the correlations between these measurements and markers of disease severity and comorbidities were explored. Ceramide antibody levels were significantly elevated in OSA patients (892.17 ng/ml) vs. controls (209.55 ng/ml). S1P levels were also significantly higher in patients with OSA (1760.0 pg/ml) than in controls (290.35 pg/ml, p
