The processes of free radical lipid oxidation were studied in 47 patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome before and after 1-month course of CPAP-therapy (continuous positive airway pressure). The control group consisted of 13 people without clinically confirmed apnea. The material for the study was serum, blood plasma, and erythrocyte hemolysate. The levels of LPO products and antioxidant defense were determined spectrophotometrically and spectrofluorometrically. The changes revealed in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome after CPAP therapy indicate a decrease in the intensity of LPO and restoration of the balance in the “LPO—antioxidant defense” system.
