Disrupted clock genes are risk factors for the presence of MetS components in OSA. Expression levels of the disrupted clock genes (Bmal1, Dec1, and Per1) in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells from the following indicated OSA subgroups: (A) fasting glucose<6.1 mmol/L vs. fasting glucose ≥6.1 mmol/L; (B) blood pressure <130/85 mmHg vs. blood pressure ≥130/85 mmHg; (C) triglycerides <1.7 mmol/L and HDL cholesterol ≥1.4 mmol/L vs. triglycerides ≥1.7 mmol/L or HDL cholesterol<1.4 mmol/L; (D) BMI <25, BMI ≥25; *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001.
