2007 - Metabolic Aspects of the Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS)

Insulin resistance is often associated with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) and could contribute to cardiovascular risk in OSAS. Sleep loss and intermittent hypoxia could contribute to the pathogenesis of the metabolic alterations associated with obesity, a common feature of OSAS. The biology of the adipocyte is being increasingly studied, and it has been found that hypoxia negatively affects adipocyte function.

This Research Seminar aimed at discussing:

the effects of hypoxia on glucose metabolism and adipocyte function
the role of inflammatory activation in OSAS and obesity
the alarming rates of obesity and OSAS in children
the harmful effects of the metabolic syndrome in OSAS
the effects of OSAS treatment on metabolic variables
the relationship between daytime sleepiness and hormonal and inflammatory responses.

Excessive daytime somnulence, obesity and inflammation
