Excessive Daytime Sleepiness Is Associated with Changes in Salivary Inflammatory Genes Transcripts

Figure 1

Correlation of transcript levels with BMI. The transcript levels were plotted against the log values of the transcript levels for each of the transcripts that were significant in the sleep apnea or “sleepy” groups. In addition the transcripts with the lowest value were plotted to determine if there was a significant correlation with increased weight. For each transcript, there was no significant correlation with increased BMI.
