Blood L-arginine levels in early respiratory distress syndrome.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) plasma levels correlate with C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations and they are both increased in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). No studies have evaluated MMP-9 levels in children with sleep apnea and CRP is not consistently elevated in pediatric OSA. The aim ...
