Figure 4

Scatterplots showing the correlation between arousal threshold and arousal severity (arousal index), the response to arousal (loop gain, ventilatory response to arousal, end-tidal carbon dioxide following an arousal), apnea severity (apnea/hypopnea index, apnea duration and the severity of oxygen desaturation) and airway collapsibility (the ratio of hypopneas/apneas + hypopneas, the degree of flow limitation during hypopneas) during the antioxidant (gray circles) and placebo trials (white circles). Note that arousal threshold was significantly correlated to a number of indices of arousal and apnea severity. n = 13 participants. A Pearson correlation coefficient was used to complete the analysis.
