Increased Carbonic Anhydrase Activity is Associated with Sleep Apnea Severity and Related Hypoxemia

STUDY OBJECTIVES: The catalytic function of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA) plays a fundamental role in carbon dioxide (CO(2)), proton (H(+)), and bicarbonate (HCO(3)(-)) homeostasis. Hypoxia and tissue acidosis have been proposed to increase physiological CA activity in various compartments of t...
