Figure 5.
Obesity reduced the severity of SDB in female mice. DIO mice showed decreased (A) apnea index and (B) average apnea duration compared to lean C57BL/6J group. No significant differences were observed in (C-D) percentage of IFL and (E-F) mean oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO2) during sleep between groups. Data are shown as median ± 1.5*IQR. Independent t-test and Mann–Whitney U test.
