Objectives This study aimed to investigate whether plasma levels of four adipokines (chemerin, macrophage migratory inhibitory factor [MIF], visceral adipose tissue‐derived serine protease inhibitor [vaspin] and chemokine CXCL5) are associated with the presence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in patients. Methods A total of 58 male patients with OSAS and 16 healthy male subjects were enrolled in this study. Results Four plasma adipokines (chemerin, MIF, vaspin and chemokine CXCL5) were significantly higher ( P < 0.05) in severe OSAS patients than in the control group after polysomnography. Plasma levels of these four adipokines were higher ( P < 0.05) after sleep than before sleep. These levels were also associated with anthropometric measurements for BMI, neck circumference, body fat percentage, sleep parameters including the apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) and minimum SaO 2 %. Multiple regression analyses showed that BMI, AHI and mean SaO 2 % were major factors affecting the four plasma adipokine levels in OSAS patients. Conclusions Plasma chemerin, MIF, vaspin and chemokine CXCL5 levels were severely elevated with OSAS, and were also connected with obesity.
