The objective of this study was to assess the effect of weight loss on sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB) in obese teenagers attending a residential treatment center. We also assessed whether the presence of SDB at the start of the weight management therapy was correlated with the amount of weight loss achieved. Obese teenagers were recruited and underwent anthropometry and sleep screening. Subjects with SDB (apnea hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 2) received a follow‐up screening after weight loss therapy. Sixty‐one obese subjects were included (age = 14.8 ± 2.3; BMI z score = 2.7 ± 0.4). Thirty‐one subjects were diagnosed with SDB with 38% continuing to have residual SDB after a median weight loss of 24.0 kg. Subjects with SDB had a higher median relative decrease in BMI z score compared to subjects without SDB which was 30.5, 33.6, and 50.4% in the group with AHI of the baseline screening study < 2, 2 ≤ AHI < 5, and AHI ≥ 5, respectively (P = 0.02). AHI of the baseline screening study correlated significantly with the relative decrease in BMI z score (partial r = 0.37; P = 0.003), controlling for gender, age, initial BMI z score, and time between both studies. In conclusion, weight loss was successful in treating SDB in obese teenagers. In addition, there was a positive association between the severity of SDB at the start of the treatment and the amount of weight loss achieved. These findings are in favor of considering weight loss as a first‐line treatment for SDB in obese children and adolescents. 相似文献

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is prevalent in childhood obesity. It may be an independent risk factor for the metabolic syndrome. Possible mechanisms are inflammation and oxidative stress. Adenotonsillectomy in childhood obesity is associated with a high recurrence rate and risk of postoperative weight gain. Therefore, this study assessed the effects of SDB on inflammation and oxidative stress in childhood obesity before and after weight loss. We included 132 obese subjects between 10 and 18 years consecutively. Median age was 15.4 years (10.1-18.0). Mean BMI z-score was 2.72 ± 0.42. Leukocytes and differentiation, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and uric acid (UA) were determined at baseline and subjects underwent a sleep assessment. SDB was diagnosed in 39%. Linear regression analysis showed an association between UA(log) and oxygen desaturation index(log) (ODI(log)) (r = 0.20; P = 0.03), between leukocytes(log) and respiratory disturbance index(log) (RDI(log)) (r = 0.23; P = 0.01), and between lymphocytes(log) and RDI(log) (r = 0.19; P = 0.04). Follow-up was organized after 4-6 months of treatment. Median decrease in BMI z-score was 32%. Laboratory measurements were repeated. Subjects with SDB at baseline underwent a second sleep study. Of these 49 subjects, 12 showed residual SDB. This corresponds with a treatment success rate of 71%. Unlike changes in inflammatory markers, improvements in UA were associated with improvements in RDI and ODI (respectively: r = 0.44; P = 0.007, r = 0.41; P = 0.01). In conclusion, weight loss is effective in treating obese children with SDB. At baseline, a link exists between inflammation and SDB. Oxidative stress is reflected by UA at baseline and the concentration decreases after treatment according to improvements in SDB. 相似文献

Short sleep appears to be strongly associated with obesity and altered metabolic function, and sleep and growth hormone (GH) secretion seems interlinked. In obesity, both the GH-insulin-like-growth-factor-I (GH-IGF-I) axis and sleep have been reported to be abnormal, however, no studies have investigated sleep in relation to the GH-IGF-I axis and weight loss in obese subjects. In this study polygraphic sleep recordings, 24-h GH release, 24-h leptin levels, free-IGF-I, total-IGF-I, IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), acid-labile subunit (ALS), cortisol and insulin sensitivity were determined in six severely obese subjects (BMI: 41+/-1 kg/m(2), 32+/-2 years of age), cross-sectional at baseline, and longitudinal after a dramatically diet-induced weight loss (36+/-7 kg). Ten age- and gender-matched nonobese subjects served as controls. Sleep duration (360+/-17 vs. 448+/-15 min/night; P<0.01), 24-h GH (55+/-9 vs. 344+/-55 mU/l.24 h; P<0.01), free-IGF-I (2.3+/-0.42 vs. 5.7+/-1.2 microg/l; P<0.01), and total-IGF-I (186+/-21 vs. 301+/-18 microg/l; P<0.01) were significantly decreased and 24-h leptin levels were increased (35+/-5 vs. 12+/-3 microg/l; P<0.01) in obese subjects at pre-weight loss compared with nonobese subjects After diet-induced weight loss the differences in GH, free IGF-I, and leptin were no longer present between previously obese and nonobese subjects, whereas a significant difference in sleep duration and total IGF-I levels persisted. Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, non-REM sleep, IGFBP-3, ALS, and cortisol levels were similar in obese and nonobese subjects. Sleep duration, 24-h GH, and IGF-I levels were decreased and 24-h leptin levels were increased in obese subjects. We conclude that hyposomatotropism and hyperleptinemia in obesity are transient phenomena reversible with weight loss, whereas short sleep seems to persist after weight has been reduced dramatically. 相似文献

We sought to determine if decrements in the mass of fat-free body mass (FFM) and other lean tissue compartments, and related changes in protein metabolism, are appropriate for weight loss in obese older women. Subjects were 14 healthy weight-stable obese (BMI > or =30 kg/m(2)) postmenopausal women >55 yr who participated in a 16-wk, 1, 200 kcal/day nutritionally complete diet. Measures at baseline and 16 wk included FFM and appendicular lean soft tissue (LST) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; body cell mass (BCM) by (40)K whole body counting; total body water (TBW) by tritium dilution; skeletal muscle (SM) by whole body MRI; and fasting whole body protein metabolism through L-[1-(13)C]leucine kinetics. Mean weight loss (+/-SD) was 9.6+/-3.0 kg (P<0.0001) or 10.7% of initial body weight. FFM decreased by 2.1+/-2.6 kg (P = 0.006), or 19.5% of weight loss, and did not differ from that reported (2.3+/-0.7 kg). Relative losses of SM, LST, TBW, and BCM were consistent with reductions in body weight and FFM. Changes in [(13)C]leucine flux, oxidation, and synthesis rates were not significant. Follow-up of 11 subjects at 23.7 +/-5.7 mo showed body weight and fat mass to be below baseline values; FFM was nonsignificantly reduced. Weight loss was accompanied by body composition and protein kinetic changes that appear appropriate for the magnitude of body mass change, thus failing to support the concern that diet-induced weight loss in obese postmenopausal women produces disproportionate LST losses. 相似文献

We tested the hypothesis that reductions in total body and abdominal visceral fat with energy restriction would be associated with increases in cardiovagal baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) in overweight/obese older men. To address this, overweight/obese (25 < or = body mass index < or = 35 kg/m(2)) young (OB-Y, n = 10, age = 32.9 +/- 2.3 yr) and older (OB-O, n = 6, age = 60 +/- 2.7 yr) men underwent 3 mo of energy restriction at a level designed to reduce body weight by 5-10%. Cardiovagal BRS (modified Oxford technique), body composition (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry), and abdominal fat distribution (computed tomography) were measured in the overweight/obese men before weight loss and after 4 wk of weight stability at their reduced weight and compared with a group of nonobese young men (NO-Y, n = 13, age = 21.1 +/- 1.0 yr). Before weight loss, cardiovagal BRS was approximately 35% and approximately 60% lower (P < 0.05) in the OB-Y and OB-O compared with NO-Y. Body weight (-7.8 +/- 1.1 vs. -7.3 +/- 0.7 kg), total fat mass (-4.1 +/- 1.0 vs. -4.4 +/- 0.8 kg), and abdominal visceral fat (-27.6 +/- 6.9 vs. -43.5 +/- 10.1 cm(2)) were reduced (all P < 0.05) after weight loss, but the magnitude of reduction did not differ (all P > 0.05) between OB-Y and OB-O, respectively. Cardiovagal BRS increased (11.5 +/- 1.9 vs. 18.5 +/- 2.6 ms/mmHg and 6.7 +/- 1.2 vs. 12.8 +/- 4.2 ms/mmHg) after weight loss (both P < 0.05) in OB-Y and OB-O, respectively. After weight loss, cardiovagal BRS in the obese/overweight young and older men was approximately 105% and approximately 73% (P > 0.05) of NO-Y (17.5 +/- 2.2 ms/mmHg). Therefore, the results of this study indicate that weight loss increases the sensitivity of the cardiovagal baroreflex in overweight/obese young and older men. 相似文献

A hypocaloric diet enriched in legumes specifically mitigates lipid peroxidation in obese subjects 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Legume intake could specifically protect against lipid peroxidation in addition to the effects associated to weight loss when included in hypocaloric diets. Thus, 30 obese subjects (age: 36 +/- 8 years and BMI: 32.0 +/- 5.3 kg/m(2)) were nutritionally treated by a 8-week energy restriction ( - 30% energy expenditure) with a legume enriched diet (4 days/week servings, [image omitted] ) or without legumes (control diet (CD), [image omitted] ). Body weight, circulating cholesterol, oxidized LDL (ox-LDL), malondialdehyde (MDA) and urinary 8-isoprostane F(2alpha) (8-iso-PGF(2alpha)) were measured at baseline and at endpoint. After the nutritional intervention, all obese subjects lost weight, specially those individuals who followed the legumes-enriched diet as compared to the CD ( - 7.7 +/- 3 vs. - 5.3 +/- 2.7%; p = 0.023), which was accompanied by marked decreases in total cholesterol levels (p < 0.001) and statistically significant diet-related reductions on plasma ox-LDL, plasma MDA and urinary 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) output. Therefore, a balanced diet with moderate caloric restriction including 4 day/week legume servings empowered the oxidative stress improvement related to weight loss through a reduction in lipid peroxidation as compared to a control hypocaloric diet. 相似文献

Lower serum concentrations of sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG) are associated with increased risk for several obesity-related diseases in women including hormone-sensitive cancers, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease. Previous investigations have reported that body composition, specifically central obesity, and/or higher insulin concentrations are key factors associated with lower SHBG in overweight and obese women; however, these studies were limited by their cross-sectional design. We hypothesized that intra-abdominal adipose tissue (IAAT), a fat depot linked with an abnormal metabolic profile, is inversely and independently associated with SHBG. Therefore, we determined the longitudinal associations among SHBG, insulin, and IAAT in 107 premenopausal women enrolled in a weight loss study. Overweight (BMI 27-30 kg/m(2)) women were weight reduced until BMI of ≤ 24 was achieved. Body composition and IAAT were measured at baseline and after weight loss with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and computed tomography, respectively. Serum concentrations of insulin and SHBG were determined. Paired t-test showed that insulin and IAAT decreased significantly and SHBG increased significantly following weight loss (P < 0.0001 for all). Simple correlations from baseline showed no association with insulin and SHBG (r = -0.142, P = 0.143) and a significant inverse association between IAAT and SHBG (r = -0.43, P < 0.0001). Repeated measures mixed-model showed that after adjusting for age and time (weight loss), IAAT was significantly inversely associated with SHBG (P = 0.0002) and there was no association with insulin and SHBG (P = 0.180). We conclude that SHBG concentrations are influenced by IAAT and not insulin in premenopausal women. 相似文献

Humoral factors play an important role in the control of exercise hyperpnea. The role of neuromechanical ventilatory factors, however, is still being investigated. We tested the hypothesis that the afferents of the thoracopulmonary system, and consequently of the neuromechanical ventilatory loop, have an influence on the kinetics of oxygen consumption (VO2), carbon dioxide output (VCO2), and ventilation (VE) during moderate intensity exercise. We did this by comparing the ventilatory time constants (tau) of exercise with and without an inspiratory load. Fourteen healthy, trained men (age 22.6 +/- 3.2 yr) performed a continuous incremental cycle exercise test to determine maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max = 55.2 +/- 5.8 ml x min(-1) x kg(-1)). On another day, after unloaded warm-up they performed randomized constant-load tests at 40% of their VO2max for 8 min, one with and the other without an inspiratory threshold load of 15 cmH2O. Ventilatory variables were obtained breath by breath. Phase 2 ventilatory kinetics (VO2, VCO2, and VE) could be described in all cases by a monoexponential function. The bootstrap method revealed small coefficients of variation for the model parameters, indicating an accurate determination for all parameters. Paired Student's t-tests showed that the addition of the inspiratory resistance significantly increased the tau during phase 2 of VO2 (43.1 +/- 8.6 vs. 60.9 +/- 14.1 s; P < 0.001), VCO2 (60.3 +/- 17.6 vs. 84.5 +/- 18.1 s; P < 0.001) and VE (59.4 +/- 16.1 vs. 85.9 +/- 17.1 s; P < 0.001). The average rise in tau was 41.3% for VO2, 40.1% for VCO2, and 44.6% for VE. The tau changes indicated that neuromechanical ventilatory factors play a role in the ventilatory response to moderate exercise. 相似文献

To investigate the pathophysiological sequelae of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), we have developed a mouse model in which hypoxia was induced during periods of sleep and was removed in response to arousal or wakefulness. An on-line sleep-wake detection system, based on the frequency and amplitude of electroencephalograph and electromyograph recordings, served to trigger intermittent hypoxia during periods of sleep. In adult male C57BL/6J mice (n = 5), the sleep-wake detection system accurately assessed wakefulness (97.2 +/- 1.1%), non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep (96.0 +/- 0.9%) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep (85.6 +/- 5.0%). After 5 consecutive days of SDB, 554 +/- 29 (SE) hypoxic events were recorded over a 24-h period at a rate of 63.6 +/- 2.6 events/h of sleep and with a duration of 28.2 +/- 0.7 s. The mean nadir of fraction of inspired O(2) (FI(O(2))) on day 5 was 13.2 +/- 0.1%, and 137.1 +/- 13.2 of the events had a nadir FI(O(2)) <10% O(2). Arterial blood gases confirmed that hypoxia of this magnitude lead to a significant degree of hypoxemia. Furthermore, 5 days of SDB were associated with decreases in both NREM and REM sleep during the light phase compared with the 24-h postintervention period. We conclude that our murine model of SDB mimics the rate and magnitude of sleep-induced hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, and reduction in total sleep time found in patients with moderate to severe SDB in the clinical setting. 相似文献

The effects of ambient O(2) tension on epithelial metabolism and nitric oxide (NO) production (VNO) in the nasal airway were examined in nine healthy volunteers. Nasal VNO, O(2) consumption (VO(2)), and CO(2) production (VCO(2)) were measured during normoxia followed by gradual hypoxia from 21 to 0% O(2) concentration. Nasal VO(2), VCO(2), and respiratory quotient during normoxia were determined to be 1.19 +/- 0.04 ml/min, 1.60 +/- 0.04 ml/min, and 1.35 +/- 0.04, respectively. Hypoxia exposure to the nasal cavity significantly decreased both VCO(2) and VNO [VCO(2): 1.60 +/- 0.04 to 0.96 +/- 0.03 ml/min (P < 0.01), VNO: 530 +/- 15 to 336 +/- 9 nl/min (P < 0.01)]. VNO was reduced commensurately with gradual decline in O(2) tension, and the apparent K(m) value for O(2) was determined to be 23.0 microM. These results indicate that the nasal epithelial cells exchange O(2) and CO(2) with ambient air in the course of their metabolism and that nasal epithelial cells can synthesize NO by using ambient O(2) as a substrate. We conclude that air-borne O(2) diffuses into the epithelium where it may be utilized for either cell metabolism or NO synthesis. 相似文献

The effect of exogenous dopamine on the development of exercise hyperpnea was studied. Using a bicycle ergometer, five subjects performed repetitive square-wave work-load testing from unloaded pedaling to 80% of each subject's estimated anaerobic threshold. The breath-by-breath ventilation (VE), CO2 production (VCO2), and O2 consumption (VO2) responses were analyzed by curve fitting a first-order exponential model. Comparisons were made between control experiments and experiments with a 3-micrograms X kg-1 X min-1 intravenous infusion of dopamine. Steady-state VE, VCO2 and VO2 were unchanged by the dopamine infusion, both during unloaded pedaling and at the heavier work load. The time constants for the increase in VE (tau VE) and VCO2 (tau CO2) were significantly (P less than 0.05) slowed (tau VE = 56.5 +/- 16.4 s for control, and tau VE = 76.4 +/- 26.6 s for dopamine; tau CO2 = 51.5 +/- 10.6 s for control, and tau CO2 = 64.8 +/- 17.4 s for dopamine) (mean +/- SD), but the time constant for VO2 (tau O2) was not significantly affected (tau O2 = 27.5 +/- 11.7 s for control, and tau O2 = 31.0 +/- 10.1 s for dopamine). We conclude that ablation of carotid body chemosensitivity with dopamine slows the transient ventilatory response to exercise while leaving the steady-state response unaffected. 相似文献

The present study tests the hypothesis that specific endocrine, metabolic, and anthropometric features distinguish obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who resume ovulation in response to calorie restriction and weight loss from those who do not. Fifteen obese (body mass index 39 +/- 7 kg/m(2)) hyperandrogenemic oligoovulatory patients undertook a very low calorie diet (VLCD), wherein each lost > or =10% of body weight over a mean of 6.25 mo. Body fat distribution was quantitated by magnetic resonance imaging. Hormones were measured in the morning at baseline, after 1 wk of VLCD, and after 10% weight loss. To monitor LH release, blood was sampled for 24 h at 10-min intervals before intervention and after 7 days of VLCD. Responders were defined a priori as individuals exhibiting two or more ovulatory cycles in the course of intervention, as corroborated by serum progesterone concentrations > or =18 nmol/l followed by vaginal bleeding. At baseline, responders had a higher sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) concentration but were otherwise indistinguishable from nonresponders. Body weight, the size of body fat depots, and plasma insulin levels declined to a similar extent in responders and nonresponders. Also, SHBG increased, and the free testosterone index decreased comparably. However, responders exhibited a significant decline of circulating estradiol concentrations (from 191 +/- 82 to 158 +/- 77 pmol/l, means +/- SD, P = 0.037) and a concurrent increase in LH secretion (from 104 +/- 42 to 140 +/- 5 U.l(-1).day(-1), P = 0.006) in response to 7 days of VLCD, whereas neither parameter changed significantly in nonresponders. We infer that evidence of retention of estradiol-dependent negative feedback on LH secretion may forecast follicle maturation and ovulation in obese patients with PCOS under dietary restriction. 相似文献

Chronic heart failure (CHF) may impair lung gas diffusion, an effect that contributes to exercise limitation. We investigated whether diffusion improvement is a mechanism whereby physical training increases aerobic efficiency in CHF. Patients with CHF (n = 16) were trained (40 min of stationary cycling, 4 times/wk) for 8 wk; similar sedentary patients (n = 15) were used as controls. Training increased lung diffusion (DlCO, +25%), alveolar-capillary conductance (DM, +15%), pulmonary capillary blood volume (VC, +10%), peak exercise O2 uptake (peak VO2, +13%), and VO2 at anaerobic threshold (AT, +20%) and decreased the slope of exercise ventilation to CO2 output (VE/VCO2, -14%). It also improved the flow-mediated brachial artery dilation (BAD, from 4.8 +/- 0.4 to 8.2 +/- 0.4%). These changes were significant compared with baseline and controls. Hemodynamics were obtained in the last 10 patients in each group. Training did not affect hemodynamics at rest and enhanced the increase of cardiac output (+226 vs. +187%) and stroke volume (+59 vs. +49%) and the decrease of pulmonary arteriolar resistance (-28 vs. -13%) at peak exercise. Hemodynamics were unchanged in controls after 8 wk. Increases in DlCO and DM correlated with increases in peak VO2 (r = 0.58, P = 0.019 and r = 0.51, P = 0.04, respectively) and in BAD (r = 0.57, P < 0.021 and r = 0.50, P = 0.04, respectively). After detraining (8 wk), DlCO, DM, VC, peak VO2, VO2 at AT, VE/VCO2 slope, cardiac output, stroke volume, pulmonary arteriolar resistance at peak exercise, and BAD reverted to levels similar to baseline and to levels similar to controls. Results document, for the first time, that training improves DlCO in CHF, and this effect may contribute to enhancement of exercise performance. 相似文献

Circulating adiponectin is reduced in disorders associated with insulin resistance. This study was conducted to determine whether an exercise/diet intervention would alter adiponectin multimer distribution and adiponectin receptor expression in skeletal muscle. Impaired glucose-tolerant older (>60 yr) obese (BMI 30-40 kg/m(2)) men (n = 7) and women (n = 14) were randomly assigned to 12 wk of supervised aerobic exercise combined with either a hypocaloric (ExHypo, approximately 500 kcal reduction, n = 11) or eucaloric diet (ExEu, n = 10). Insulin sensitivity was determined by the euglycemic (5.0 mM) hyperinsulinemic (40 mU x m(-2) x min(-1)) clamp. Adiponectin multimers [high (HMW), middle (MMW), and low molecular weight (LMW)] were measured by nondenaturing Western blot analysis. Relative quantification of adiponectin receptor expression through RT-PCR was determined from skeletal muscle biopsy samples. Greater weight loss occurred in ExHypo compared with ExEu subjects (8.0 +/- 0.6 vs. 3.2 +/- 0.6%, P < 0.0001). Insulin sensitivity improved postintervention in both groups (ExHypo: 2.5 +/- 0.3 vs. 4.4 +/- 0.5 mg x kg FFM(-1) x min(-1), and ExEu: 2.9 +/- 0.4 vs. 4.1 +/- 0.4 mg x kg FFM(-1) x min(-1), P < 0.0001). Comparison of multimer isoforms revealed a decreased percentage in MMW relative to HMW and LMW (P < 0.03). The adiponectin SA ratio (HMW/total) was increased following both interventions (P < 0.05) and correlated with the percent change in insulin sensitivity (P < 0.03). Postintervention adiponectin receptor mRNA expression was also significantly increased (AdipoR1 P < 0.03, AdipoR2 P < 0.02). These data suggest that part of the improvement in insulin sensitivity following exercise and diet may be due to changes in the adiponectin oligomeric distribution and enhanced membrane receptor expression. 相似文献

Calcitonin gene-related peptide in human obesity. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We studied plasma calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) levels in obese women before (n = 24) and after (n = 13) weight loss, and in normal weight controls (n = 15). Furthermore, the influence of two isocaloric meals (high carbohydrate vs. high fat) on plasma CGRP concentrations was studied. The CGRP concentration in the obese group (32.26 +/- 2.01 pg/ml) was significantly (p less than 0.0001) higher than in the control group (21.64 +/- 0.15 pg/ml). After weight loss (14.3 +/- 0.72% of original weight) CGRP concentrations remained unchanged. Only the high-fat meal caused a significant (p less than 0.02) rise in CGRP levels. Our results indicate that elevated plasma CGRP levels may constitute a primary phenomenon in obese women, and that fat intake may be associated with increased CGRP secretion. 相似文献

There is evidence that narrowing or collapse of the pharynx can contribute to obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in adults and children. However, studies in children have focused on those with relatively severe SDB who generally were recruited from sleep clinics. It is unclear whether children with mild SDB who primarily have hypopneas, and not frank apnea, also have more collapsible airways. We estimated airway collapsibility in 10 control subjects (9.4 +/- 0.5 yr old; 1.9 +/- 0.2 hypopneas/h) and 7 children with mild SDB (10.6 +/- 0.5 yr old; 11.5 +/- 0.1 hypopneas/h) during stable, non-rapid eye movement sleep. None of the subjects had clinically significant enlargement of the tonsils or adenoids, nor had any undergone previous tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy. Airway collapsibility was measured by brief (2-breath duration) and sudden reductions in pharyngeal pressure by connecting the breathing mask to a negative pressure source. Negative pressure applications ranging from -1 to -20 cmH(2)O were randomly applied in each subject while respiratory airflow and mask pressure were measured. Flow-pressure curves were constructed for each subject, and the x-intercept gave the pressure at zero flow, the so-called critical pressure of the upper airway (Pcrit). Pcrit was significantly higher in children with SDB than in controls (-10.8 +/- 2.8 vs. -15.7 +/- 1.2 cmH(2)O; P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the slopes of the pressure-flow relations or in baseline airflow resistance. These data support the concept that intrinsic pharyngeal collapsibility contributes to mild SDB in children. 相似文献

Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are frequently obese and are predisposed to weight gain. They also have heightened sympathetic drive. We reasoned that noradrenergic activation of beta(3)-receptors on adipocytes would inhibit leptin production, predisposing to obesity in sleep apnea. We therefore tested the hypothesis that obesity and predisposition to weight gain in OSA are associated with low levels of plasma leptin. We prospectively studied 32 male patients (43 +/- 2 yr) with OSA who were newly diagnosed and never treated and who were free of any other diseases. Control measurements were obtained from 32 similarly obese closely matched male subjects (38 +/- 2 yr). Leptin levels were 13.7 +/- 1.3 and 9.2 +/- 1.2 ng/ml in patients with OSA and controls, respectively (P = 0.02). Weight gain over the year before diagnosis was 5.2 +/- 1.7 and 0.5 +/- 0.9 kg in sleep apnea patients and similarly obese control subjects, respectively (P = 0.04). Muscle sympathetic activity was 46 +/- 4 and 30 +/- 4 bursts/min in patients with OSA (n = 16) and control subjects (n = 18), respectively (P = 0.01). Plasma leptin levels are elevated in newly diagnosed otherwise healthy patients with untreated sleep apnea beyond the levels seen in similarly obese control subjects without sleep apnea. Higher leptin levels in OSA, independent of body fat content, suggest that OSA is associated with resistance to the weight-reducing effects of leptin. 相似文献

Exercise improves glucose metabolism and delays the onset and/or reverses insulin resistance in the elderly by an unknown mechanism. In the present study, we examined the effects of exercise training on glucose metabolism, abdominal adiposity, and adipocytokines in obese elderly. Sixteen obese men and women (age = 63 +/- 1 yr, body mass index = 33.2 +/- 1.4 kg/m2) participated in a 12-wk supervised exercise program (5 days/wk, 60 min/day, treadmill/cycle ergometry at 85% of heart rate maximum). Visceral fat (VF), subcutaneous fat, and total abdominal fat were measured by computed tomography. Fat mass and fat-free mass were assessed by hydrostatic weighing. An oral glucose tolerance test was used to determine changes in insulin resistance. Exercise training increased maximal oxygen consumption (21.3 +/- 0.8 vs. 24.3 +/- 1.0 ml.kg(-1).min(-1), P < 0.0001), decreased body weight (P < 0.0001) and fat mass (P < 0.001), while fat-free mass was not altered (P > 0.05). VF (176 +/- 20 vs. 136 +/- 17 cm2, P < 0.0001), subcutaneous fat (351 +/- 34 vs. 305 +/- 28 cm2, P < 0.03), and total abdominal fat (525 +/- 40 vs. 443 +/- 34 cm2, P < 0.003) were reduced through training. Circulating leptin was lower (P < 0.003) after training, but total adiponectin and tumor necrosis factor-alpha remained unchanged. Insulin resistance was reversed by exercise (40.1 +/- 7.7 vs. 27.6 +/- 5.6 units, P < 0.01) and correlated with changes in VF (r = 0.66, P < 0.01) and maximal oxygen consumption (r = -0.48, P < 0.05) but not adipocytokines. VF loss after aerobic exercise training improves glucose metabolism and is associated with the reversal of insulin resistance in older obese men and women. 相似文献

The Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase plays an important role in the maintenance of electrolyte balance in the working muscle and thus may contribute to endurance performance. This study aimed to investigate the associations between genetic variants at the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase alpha2 locus and the response (Delta) of maximal oxygen consumption (VO(2 max)) and maximal power output (W(max)) to 20 wk of endurance training in 472 sedentary Caucasian subjects from 99 families. VO(2 max) and W(max) were measured during two maximal cycle ergometer exercise tests before and again after the training program, and restriction fragment length polymorphisms at the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase alpha2 (exons 1 and 21-22 with Bgl II) gene were typed. Sibling-pair linkage analysis revealed marginal evidence for linkage between the alpha2 haplotype and DeltaVO(2 max) (P = 0.054) and stronger linkages between the alpha2 exon 21-22 marker (P = 0.005) and alpha2 haplotype (P = 0.003) and DeltaW(max). In the whole cohort, DeltaVO(2 max) in the 3.3-kb homozygotes of the exon 1 marker (n = 5) was 41% lower than in the 8.0/3.3-kb heterozygotes (n = 87) and 48% lower than in the 8.0-kb homozygotes (n = 380; P = 0.018, adjusted for age, gender, baseline VO(2 max), and body weight). Among offspring, 10.5/10.5-kb homozygotes (n = 14) of the exon 21-22 marker showed a 571 +/- 56 (SE) ml O(2)/min increase in VO(2 max), whereas the increases in the 10.5/4.3-kb (n = 93) and 4.3/4.3-kb (n = 187) genotypes were 442 +/- 22 and 410 +/- 15 ml O(2)/min, respectively (P = 0.017). These data suggest that genetic variation at the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase alpha2 locus influences the trainability of VO(2 max) in sedentary Caucasian subjects. 相似文献
