Abstract:
Objective To study the liver X receptor(LXR)and the gene expression of cholesterol ester transfer protein(CETP),cyclooxygenase-2(COX2)in obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS)patients.Methods Macrophages were separated from the blood drawn in 30 cases of OSAHS patients and 30 healthy control subjects in the morning,RT-PCR gel eletrophoresis was used to determine the patterns of gene expression.Results OSAHS patients had higher LXR,COX2,CETP expression(P
