Adaptation to Nocturnal Intermittent Hypoxia in Sleep-Disordered Breathing: 2,3 Diphosphoglycerate Levels: A Preliminary Study
نویسنده
چکیده
The oxygenation of tissues depends on several factors such as blood flow, oxygen carrying capacity of the blood and the affinity of the hemoglobin for oxygen. Patients with an abnormality of one of these factors depend on adjustment in one or more other factors in order to maintain optimal tissue oxygenation. For instance, people who reside at high altitudes have two available modes of compensation: enhanced oxygen carrying capacity and decreased oxygen affinity, mediated by increased levels of 2,3 diphosphoglycerate (DPG). In human red blood cells, 2,3 DPG appears to be an important regulator of hemoglobin functions.

Nocturnal onset ischemic stroke provoked by sleep-disordered breathing advanced with congestive heart failure.
R ecently, sleep-disordered breathing and nocturnal hypoxia have been recognized to increase the risk of cerebrovascular disease. Kirkham et al reported that nocturnal hypoxemia was a predictor of future cerebrovascular events in sickle-cell disease. However, it remains unclear whether nocturnal hypoxemic episodes directly lead to nocturnal onset stroke, because other predisposing conditions mi...
متن کاملNocturnal intermittent hypoxia is independently associated with pain in subjects suffering from sleep-disordered breathing.
BACKGROUND On the basis of experimental and clinical evidence, the authors hypothesized that nocturnal hypoxemia would be associated with pain reports in subjects suffering from sleep-disordered breathing, independently of sleep fragmentation and inflammation. METHODS After obtaining institutional approval and access to the Cleveland Family Study phenotype and genotype data, the authors used ...
متن کاملChronic intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia increases pulmonary arterial pressure and haematocrit in rats.
Sleep-disordered breathing is associated with pulmonary hypertension and raised haematocrit. The multiple episodes of apnoea in this condition cause chronic intermittent hypoxia and hypercapnia but the effects of such blood gas changes on pulmonary pressure or haematocrit are unknown. The present investigation tests the hypothesis that chronic intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia causes increased p...
متن کاملIntermittent hypoxia and sleep-disordered breathing: current concepts and perspectives.
There are three major types of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) with respect to prevalence and health consequences, i.e. obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS), Cheyne-Stokes respiration and central sleep apnoea (CSR-CSA) in chronic heart failure, and obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS). In all three conditions, hypoxia appears to affect body functioning in different ways. Most of the mole...
متن کاملNocturnal intermittent hypoxia and C reactive protein among middle-aged community residents: a cross-sectional survey.
BACKGROUND There are conflicting results for the association between obstructive sleep apnoea and raised C reactive protein (CRP) levels. A study was undertaken to investigate whether nocturnal intermittent hypoxia, a surrogate marker for obstructive sleep apnoea, was associated with CRP levels among a community-dwelling Japanese population. METHODS Among participants in the Circulatory Risk ...
