Role of oxidative stress in rem sleep deprivation-induced endothelial dysfunction in rat model

Sleep deprivation is associated with endothelial dysfunction, an early sign of cardiovascular disease. The pathogenesis underlying endothelial dysfunction in sleep deprivation remains poorly understood to date. The objective of this study was to identify the possible factors involved in the mecha...
