- Thymalin
- Thymic immune modulation. Normalizes T-cell function, reduces IL-6 and TNF-alpha
- Chronic inflammation reduction, endothelial protection
- 10–20 mg subcutaneous 2–3x weekly
- Targets downstream inflammation. Doesn't address airway obstruction but may mitigate cardiovascular sequelae
- MK-677
- Ghrelin receptor agonist. Stimulates pulsatile GH release, elevates IGF-1, improves sleep architecture
- Metabolic recovery, slow-wave sleep restoration
- 12.5–25 mg oral daily before bed
- Improves parameters apnea degrades (REM sleep, lean mass). Not a standalone intervention
- Cerebrolysin
- Neurotrophic peptide mixture. Mimics NGF, BDNF, CNTF pathways
- Cognitive recovery post-hypoxic injury, neuroprotection
- 5–10 mL IV 2–3x weekly
- Investigational for reversing hippocampal damage from chronic hypoxia. Pairs with CPAP compliance
- Dihexa
- BDNF pathway amplifier. Increases synaptic density, supports neurogenesis
- Executive function recovery, memory consolidation
- 1–5 mg oral daily
- Potent cognitive enhancer under research. Addresses long-term deficits that CPAP alone doesn't reverse
