Regional brain iron mapping in obstructive sleep apnea adults
OSA patients show increased iron content in multiple sites over controls, which progressively increased in several sites, even after 3-mo CPAP use, and started to clear after 9-mo. The findings suggest a means for intervention to lessen brain injury by interfering with iron accumulation in OSA.
