Study Objectives: Understanding the etiologic mechanisms underlying impaired glucose tolerance in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) would assist development of therapies against this comorbidity. We hypothesized that in patients with OSA impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) would be associated with elevated levels of hormones associated with appetite regulation (leptin, ghrelin, neuropeptide Y [NPY] and peptide tyrosine-tyrosine [PYY]). Method: We studied 68 OSA patients (mean AHI 22 events/h) and 37 age and weight matched healthy controls recruited by advertisement. All participants received a standardized evening meal, attended polysomnography and an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) on waking. Hormones were measured in blood taken before sleep (22:30) and at the start of the OGTT. Results: Impaired glucose tolerance was present in 54% of patients and 32% of controls (p = 0.05). The only differences between groups was that leptin was signifi cantly higher at 22:30 in OSA patients compared to controls (9.6 ng/L vs 7.9 ng/L, p = 0.05). OSA patients had marginally elevated plasma NPY levels at 22:30 (56.6 [52, 67] S C I E N T I F I C I N v E S T I G A T I O N SU ntreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with insulin resistance, 1,2 and some studies suggest that treatment with CPAP improves glucose control, 3,4 although this was not found in a randomized controlled trial of diabetics with sleep apnea. 5 The observation that established type 2 diabetics cannot improve glucose control when their OSA is treated with CPAP, emphasizes the importance of understanding the pathophysiology of insulin resistance associated with OSA.One mechanism linking OSA with impaired glucose tolerance could be sympathetic nerve activity which is a recognized phenomenon in OSA 6 ; indeed it has previously been hypothesized that this process is responsible for the elevated leptin levels seen in newly diagnosed OSA patients. 7 Consistent with this sibutramine, a serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor, was able to improve insulin resistance in OSA independent of visceral fat. 8 Moreover two studies raise the hypothesis that hormones involved in appetite regulation could contribute to impaired glucose tolerance. Broglio et al. 9 demonstrated that ghrelin administered to healthy subjects simultaneously with glucose, resulted in a transient decrease of insulin concentration that was coupled with signifi cant increase in glucose levels. In addition it has been reported that IR is associated with increased plasma leptin concentration independent of the body fat. 10 Consistent with this hypothesis, previous studies have reported that OSA is independently associated with neuroendocrine dysregulation; in fact OSA has been reported to be bRIEF SUMMARY Current knowledge/Study Rationale: Impaired glucose tolerance is a common and important co-morbidity of obstructive sleep apnea yet its pathogenesis, beyond the shared etiology of obesity is unknown. Here we tested the hypothesis that OSA might induce increases of appetite regulating h...

RESUMOEstudos anteriores mostraram que pacientes com Apnéia Obstrutiva do Sono (AOS) apresentam maior risco para doenças cardiovasculares. Entretanto, permanece controverso se essa associação depende da obesidade ou se ocorre devido a alterações fisiológicas decorrentes da desordem do sono, como ativação do sistema nervoso simpático, da inflamação e desordens do eixo corticotrófico e somatotrófico, que predispõem a danos vasculares. Além disso, muitos fatores de risco para doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) estão fortemente associados ao distúrbio respiratório, entre eles hipertensão, obesidade, resistência à insulina e diabetes tipo 2 (DM2). Neste artigo, vamos discutir a interação entre resistência à insulina e AOS e os possíveis mecanismos fisiopatológicos que contribuem para suas co-morbidades. Previous studies have shown Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) as a risk factor for development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. However, controversies remain as to whether these changes are consequences of the associated obesity or OSA itself results in endocrine and metabolic changes, including impairment of insulin sensitivity, growth hormone, secretion inflammatory cytokines alterations, activation of peripheral sympathetic activity, and hipothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, that may predispose to vascular disease. Furthermore many cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension, obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, are strongly associated with OSA. In this article, we will review the evidence and discuss possible mechanisms underlying these links and the pathophysiology of OSA morbidities.

“…Recent cross-sectional and longitudinal data have shown strong and consistent associations between indices of SDB with glucose impairment and/or diabetes in adults (11,12). Causal relationships are supported by data showing that treatment of SDB is associated with improvement in indices of glucose impairment (13) or diabetes control (14). However, research that addresses the role of SDB as a risk factor for MetS in children is more limited.…”

Rationale: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) affects 4 to 10% of adolescents. Risk factors include overweight, male sex, and Hispanic ethnicity. Although sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) has been implicated as a risk factor for MetS in adults, its association with SDB in adolescents is unknown. Objectives: To define the association of SDB with MetS in adolescents. Methods: Standardized measurements of SDB, anthropometry and bioassays, were made in 270 adolescents, aged 13.6 ؎ 0.7 years. MetS was identified if threshold levels were exceeded in three of five areas: waist circumference, blood pressure, triglyceride level, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, and glucose levels. Measurements and Main Results: Although 70% of children with SDB (apnea-hypopnea index у 5) were overweight and 59% had MetS, 16% of children without SDB had MetS. Twenty-five percent of those with MetS had SDB. After adjusting for age, race, sex, and preterm status, children with SDB had a 6.49 (95% confidence interval, 2.52, 16.70) increased odds of MetS compared with children without SDB. Indices of SDB stress associated with MetS included respiratory event frequency, degree of oxygen desaturation, and sleep efficiency. Analyses of individual metabolic parameters showed that, after adjustment for body mass index, SDB was associated with systolic and diastolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and fasting insulin levels. Conclusions: A majority of adolescents with SDB are overweight and meet criteria for MetS. The close association between MetS and SDB and their putative interacting pathophysiologies suggests a need to develop screening, prevention, and treatment strategies for both disorders in high-risk, overweight adolescents.Keywords: sleep apnea; metabolic syndrome; obesity Metabolic syndrome (MetS) refers to a clustering of abnormalities in glucose and lipid metabolism, believed to result from insulin resistance and/or central obesity. MetS, defined according to criteria established by the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III), is estimated to affect more than 20% of United States' adults, who frequently progress to diabetes and are at increased risk for premature cardiovascular disease (1). Approximately 95% of adults with MetS are overweight or obese (2).MetS is also estimated to afflict 4 to 10% of adolescents (3, 4). Similar to adults, overweight children have greater degrees of metabolic dysfunction than normal-weight children, and such abnormalities appear to track over time and predict metabolic dysfunction and cardiovascular risk profiles in adulthood (5, 6). What This Study Adds to the FieldObesity and metabolic syndrome are prevalent in adolescents with modest sleep apnea. Associations of metabolic dysfunction with sleep apnea persisted after considering weight, suggesting that sleep apnea contributes to metabolic dysfunction in children.The rising prevalence of overweight among children and adolescents has been implicated in the 10-fold estimated increased rate of noninsulin diabetes in adolescents, and ha...
