TL;DR
Morning sIL-6R levels demonstrated stronger associations with moderate to severe SRBD than morning IL-6 levels, suggesting the potential utility of sISR as a marker for measuring overnight SRBD stresses and further investigation of this biomarker may provide insight into SRBD-related inflammation.
Abstract
Morning sIL-6R levels demonstrated stronger associations with moderate to severe SRBD than morning IL-6 levels. Associations with SRBD and morning sIL-6R levels persisted even after adjustment for waist circumference, cardiovascular disease, and evening sIL-6R levels, suggesting the potential utility of sIL-6R as a marker for measuring overnight SRBD stresses. Further investigation of this biomarker may provide insight into SRBD-related inflammation.
