Alterations in Serum Adropin, Adiponectin, and Proinflammatory Cytokine Levels in OSAS

Table 3

Kruskal–Wallis H test results carried out for determining the difference between the OSAS classes and IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha values.

Variable	OSAS class	N	Mean	SD	Kruskal–Wallis H test
					Test
IL-1 beta	Non-OSAS	82	1.70	0.21	31.972	<0.001
	Mild OSAS	28	11.80	7.04
	Moderate OSAS	26	17.20	5.96
	Severe OSAS	30	23.74	2.98
TNF-alpha	Non-OSAS	82	3.80	1.08	19.440	<0.001
	Mild OSAS	28	5.90	3.04
	Moderate OSAS	26	7.30	2.45
	Severe OSAS	30	8.60	2.35

SD: standard deviation; OSAS: obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.Statistical significance.
