The Treg/Th17 Imbalance in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome
Figure 3
Represents the plasma levels of cytokines concentration in three groups (mild to moderate OSAS, severe OSAS and control group). The IL-17 and IL-6 concentrations in patients with OSAS were significantly higher when compared to concentrations in control group. While plasma TGF- concentrations in the OSAS group were significantly lower than those of control group. And plasma IL-10 concentrations were comparable in three groups. , Mild to Moderate OSAS versus Severe OSAS; , Control versus Severe OSAS.
