Obstructive sleep apnea is related to alterations in intestinal microbiome and impaired intestinal barrier function

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is related to repeated upper airway collapse, intermittent hypoxia, and intestinal barrier dysfunction. The resulting damage to the intestinal barrier may affect or be affected by the intestinal microbiota.

阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（Obstructive Sleep Apnea, OSA）与反复上气道塌陷、间歇性低氧及肠屏障功能障碍密切相关。由此造成的肠屏障损伤既可能影响肠道菌群，也可能受肠道菌群的影响。
