The role of irisin in predicting obstructive sleep apnea severity among obese individuals: a comparative analysis.

Published in: Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung (2023)

This study indicated that irisin levels decrease in obese individuals with OSA, correlating with the severity of the condition. Additionally, irisin levels may act as an independent predictor for OSA. The predictive value of irisin in identifying severe OSA among obese patients suggests its potential as a promising biomarker.
