Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To study the mRNA expression of muscle phenotype and collagen of soft palate and pathology in obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). METHOD: We used the Real-time PCR to test the mRNA expression of soft palate muscle myosin heavy chain (MyHC) phenotype and collagen in 12 OSAHS patients and 8 control patients. We also distinguished the muscle isoforms I , II with ATPase staining, then...
