First seen Mar 05, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study tested whether a 4-week course of the supplement N-acetylcysteine (NAC) affects overnight oxidative stress and inflammation differently in men versus women with obstructive sleep apnea. Fourteen participants already using standard CPAP therapy took either NAC or a placebo. The goal was to understand sex-specific responses, not to cure or treat the condition directly.
