Both obesity and OSA are associated with vascular endothelial inflammation and increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. We investigated directly whether the endothelial alterations that are attributed commonly to obesity are in fact related to OSA.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>Methods and Results\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            Seventy-one subjects with a body mass index ranging from normal to obese underwent attended polysomnography. To assess vascular inflammation and oxidative stress directly, we quantified the expression of nuclear factor-\u03baB and nitrotyrosine by immunofluorescence in freshly harvested venous endothelial cells. To evaluate basal endothelial nitric oxide (NO) production and activity, we quantified the expression of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) and phosphorylated eNOS. Vascular reactivity was measured by brachial artery flow-mediated dilation. Expression of eNOS and phosphorylated eNOS and flow-mediated dilation were significantly lower, whereas expression of nitrotyrosine was significantly greater in OSA patients (n=38) than in OSA-free subjects (n=33) regardless of central adiposity. Expression of nuclear factor-\u03baB was greater in obese OSA patients than in obese OSA-free subjects (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            =0.004). Protein expression and flow-mediated dilation were not significantly affected by increasing body mass index or central obesity in OSA patients and in OSA-free subjects. After 4 weeks of continuous positive airway pressure therapy, flow-mediated dilation and expression of eNOS and phosphorylated eNOS significantly increased whereas expression of nitrotyrosine and nuclear factor-\u03baB significantly decreased in OSA patients who adhered to continuous positive airway pressure \u22654 hours daily.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n
