Correlation between the concentration of hydrogen peroxide and telomere length in OSA patients. A significant inverse correlation was observed between the concentration of hydrogen peroxide and the telomere length of 43 OSA patients (R²=0.490) (A) and mean telomere length in healthy volunteers (N = 34) and OSA patients (N = 43) (B). Graphs show mean values. White dot: telomere length of healthy volunteers; black dot: telomere length of OSA patients (^*p < .05 comparing healthy volunteers and OSA patients).
