Autoadjusting-CPAP effect on serum Leptin concentrations in Obstructive Sleep Apnoea patients
BACKGROUND Leptin is an hormone that regulates body weight. Studies have shown increasing leptin concentrations according to body mass index (BMI) and intermittent hypoxia. Our aim is to evaluate the basal leptin levels in OSA patients and its possible relation to OSA severity, independently of confounders and investigate the Autoadjusting-CPAP effect on leptin values. METHODS In ninety eight...
متن کاملLeptin and ghrelin levels in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea: effect of CPAP treatment.
Serum leptin and ghrelin levels were investigated in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) syndrome before and during continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) treatment and compared with body mass index (BMI)-matched controls without OSA. Male patients (n=30) with OSA (apnoea/hypopnoea index=58+/-16, BMI=32.6+/-5.3 kg x m(-2)) underwent CPAP treatment. Fasting leptin and ghrelin were ...
متن کاملInfluence of treatment on leptin levels in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea.
Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is a common disorder in obesity. Leptin, an adipocyte-derived signalling factor, plays an important role in metabolic control. There is growing evidence that leptin regulation is altered in OSAS. Therefore, the aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that effective treatment will influence leptin levels in OSAS patients. Serum leptin levels were det...
متن کاملCompliance in sleep apnoea therapy: influence of home care support and pressure mode.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is an effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) but therapy adherence is often low. The hypothesis that CPAP-adherence and clinical outcomes can be improved by either using an autoadjusting-CPAP (APAP) device or an intensive support was tested. A controlled parallel group study was performed with 100 newly diagnosed OSAS patients...
متن کاملPlasma leptin levels and cardiac sympathetic function in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome.
BACKGROUND The control of body weight and cardiac sympathetic function in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS) are important because both factors have significant effects on the mortality of these patients. It has recently been reported that OSAHS has a significant effect on the secretion of leptin, a hormone involved in the control of body weight and sympathetic ne...
