Serum levels of apolipoproteins and HDL-related enzyme activities. a Apo A-I was lower in OSA group in comparison to the controls, in addition, circulating apo A-I were lower in patients with severe OSA compared with patients with mild OSA. b Apo B indicated a higher concentration in OSA patients compared with control individuals, while there was no considerable difference between categories of OSA. c The apo B / apo A-I ratio is elevated in OSA patients in comparison to controls, and severe OSA groups displayed a higher apo B / apo A-I ratio compared to the mild OSA group. d HsCRP represented a higher concentration in patients suffering OSA compared to controls and severe OSA patients had higher levels of hsCRP compared to patients with mild and moderate OSA. e Paraoxonase activity was displayed a lower level in patients suffering OSA compared to controls, and severe OSA group showed lower activity of paraoxonase compared to mild OSA group. f Patients with OSA demonstrated lower arylesterase activity compared to controls, and there was no remarkable change between the OSA categories
