Effects of CPAP on oxidative stress and nitrate efficiency in sleep apnoea: a randomised trial

Abstract: Background: Previous studies have presented contradictory data concerning obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS), lipid oxidation and nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. This study was undertaken to (1) compare the concentration of 8-isoprostane and total nitrate and nitrite (NOx) in plasma of middle-aged men with OSAS and no other known co-morbidity and healthy controls of the same age, gender and body mass index; and (2) test the hypothesis that nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy atten… Show more

“…However, most clinical research has studied the correlation of this impact via therapeutic interventions without analyzing causality (10,25,26). Other studies have shown improvements in oxidative stress with CPAP treatment (7,(27)(28)(29)(30). Recently, our group has observed an increase in MDA in OSA patients with greater desaturation, although this increase was not related to worsening of endothelial function (16).…”

“…In previous studies, improvement in endothelial dysfunction was observed in response to CPAP treatment [11,23,24,28,29]. It is also postulated that CPAP can alleviate oxidative stress [11,30]. CARPAGNANO et al [31] showed that an increase in 8-isoprostane in exhaled breath condensate, which decreased significantly after CPAP treatment.…”
