Effects of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome on serum aminotransferase levels and insulin resistance
Abstract Bckground: Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are at risk of developing the fatty liver as a result of being overweight. Several studies suggest that OSA per se could be a risk factor for liver injury and ischemic hepatitis with OSA. The OSA is an independent risk factor for Insulin resistance. Therefore, we investigated liver enzymes and insulin resistance in patients with O...
متن کاملInflammatory ideas about sleep apnea.
Accessible online at: www.karger.com/res In this issue of Respiration, Imagawa et al. [1] continue their studies of the augmented levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in 110 sleep apnea patients, reporting that they are not explained by increases in the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF)alpha or interleukin (IL)-6. In a previous study, the same authors found in...
متن کاملComplex Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Complex sleep apnea is the term used to describe a form of sleep disordered breathing in which repeated central apneas (>5/hour) persist or emerge when obstructive events are extinguished with positive airway pressure (PAP) and for which there is not a clear cause for the central apneas such as narcotics or systolic heart failure. The driving forces in the pathophysiology are felt to be ventila...
متن کامل[Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome].
This is an overview for the non-specialist of the pathophysiology, workup and treatment of the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The mechanisms leading to upper airway closure during sleep are discussed, as well as the current theoretical and experimental concepts for the apnea-induced arousal response and the consequent changes in sleep architecture and quality. Epidemiological data are summar...
متن کاملComplex sleep apnea syndrome
Complex sleep apnea syndrome (CompSAS) is a distinct form of sleep-disordered breathing characterized as central sleep apnea (CSA), and presents in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients during initial treatment with a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device. The mechanisms of why CompSAS occurs are not well understood, though we have a high loop gain theory that may help to explain i...
