Abstract
Background. The association of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) impairs sympathovagal balance. However, the mechanisms are not completely understood. Metabolic and inflammatory alterations can be candidates to explain, at least in part, this impairment. Objectives. We will investigate: 1) The overlap of OSA in MetS has an additive effect on metabolic and inflamm…

Abstract
Background. Patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) frequently have the co-morbid obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Recent studies have shown that the prevalence of OSA in MetS patients is about 60%. In MetS, the overlap of OSA exacerbates muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and impairs sympathovagal balance. However, the mechanisms and its integration are not completely understood. Met…
