The main objective of this study is to evaluate the decrease of inflammation of adipose tissue in obese and non-obese patients having a sleep apnea syndrome and treated or not by continuous positive airway pressure (cPAP). An interim analysis will be performed when 40 patients will be included.
Inflammation of adipose tissue will be evaluated by RT-PCR on mRNA of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12, RANTES, TNFa, leptin, adiponectin, CD68).

Decrease of inflammation in adipose tissue
Obese and non-obese patients having a sleep apnea syndrome will be treated by cPAP or not (placebo arm). Decrease of inflammation in adipose tissue is expected to be observed in patients treated by cPAP.
Time frame: 2 months
Decrease of oxidative stress
Measures of oxidative stress will be done in obese and non-obese patients treated either by cPAP or "Placebo cPAP"
Time frame: 2 months
measure of insulin sensitivity
Insulin sensitivity will be measured in obese and non-obese patients treated either by cPAP or "placebo cPAP"
Time frame: 2 months
Decrease of systemic inflammation
This measure will be done in obese and non-obese patients treated either by cPAP or "placebo cPAP"
Time frame: 2 months
Measure of local hypoxemia of adipose tissue
This measure will be done in obese and non-obese patients treated either by cPAP or "placebo cPAP"
Time frame: 2 months
Measure of structural and functional changes in skeletal muscle
This measure will be done in obese and non-obese patients treated either by cPAP or "placebo cPAP"
Time frame: 2 months
Measure of vascular adhesion factors modifications and protein synthesis signals modifications
This measure will be done in musculus skeletal of obese and non-obese patients treated either by cPAP or "placebo cPAP"

Patients are randomised in 2 arms : cPAP or sham cPAP
Time frame: 2 months
Decrease in endothelial dysfunction
This measure will be done in obese and non-obese patients treated either by cPAP or "placebo cPAP" and correlated to decrease of inflammation and oxidative stress
Time frame: 2 months
Decrease in arterial rigidity
This measure will be done in obese and non-obese patients treated either by cPAP or "placebo cPAP" and correlated to decrease of inflammation and oxidative stress
Time frame: 2 months
