Correlations of oxidative indicators with the presence of MetS in OSA patients.

Variable	Control	OSA		P value a	P value b
		Non-MetS	MetS
TAS (μmol/L)	1.37 ± 0.28	1.35 ± 0.24	1.24 ± 0.22	0.119	0.039
TOS (μmol/L)	5.86 ± 2.58	13.89 ± 5.78	23.34 ± 10.65	<0.001	<0.001
OSI	0.31 ± 0.22	0.17 ± 0.26	0.07 ± 0.08	<0.001	0.024

These bold values mean p < 0.05. Data are shown as mean (standard deviation) or percentages. ^{a / b} Correlation coefficients of the cytokine levels between groups.
