Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Glucose Metabolism

Lead Sponsor:

University of Missouri-Columbia

Conditions:

Sleep Apnea

Glucose Metabolism Disorders

Eligibility:

All Genders

30-70 years

Phase:

NA

Brief Summary

Many adults who are overweight have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) which disrupts sleep and makes it difficult to breath during the night. OSA increases the risk for a person to become insulin resistan...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • General Inclusion Criteria (for all subjects):
  • Age: ≥30 and ≤70 years,
  • BMI: ≥30 and ≤45 kg/m2 or body fat ≥ 30 % for women and ≥ 25 % for men,
  • Maximum body circumference \<170 cm
  • Weight stable (≤2% change)
  • Untrained (≤1 h of structured exercise/wk) for at least 3 months before entering the study
  • No diabetes (fasting blood glucose \<126 mg/dl, 2h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) glucose \<200 mg/dl, HbA1c ≤6.5%)
  • Sleep-related inclusion criteria:
  • Subjects without OSA:
  • AHI \<5/h of sleep;
  • Oxygen desaturation index \<3/h
  • No known sleep disorders and periodic limb movement arousal index \<15/h during polysomnography
  • Reported sleep duration ≥6 h per night
  • Regular sleep schedules (i.e. bedtime between 8 pm and 12 am and wake-time between 4 am and 8 am on all days of the week)
  • Subjects with OSA
  • AHI ≥10/h of sleep (i.e., moderate to severe OSA)
  • Oxygen desaturation index ≥4/h;
  • No polysomnogram finding that would trigger immediate PAP treatment as per standard operating protocol in our sleep medicine center (a single SaO2 \<50%, SaO2 \<70% for \>2 minutes, electrocardiogram pause \>5 sec, or ventricular tachycardia \>30 sec), because of the risk of a potentially adverse outcome if they are not randomized to the PAP group
  • Periodic limb movement arousal index \<15/h during polysomnography,
  • Reported sleep duration ≥6 h per night,
  • Regular night-time sleep schedules, defined as bedtime between 8 pm and 12 am and wake-time between 4 am and 8 am on all days of the week.
  • General Exclusion Criteria (for all subjects):
  • Current treatment for previously diagnosed OSA;
  • Self-reported severe difficulty sleeping in unfamiliar environments;
  • Metal implants that are incompatible with magnetic resonance imaging;
  • Controlled substances, tobacco products, dietary supplements, or medications known or suspected to affect sleep, breathing, upper airway muscle physiology, or glucose metabolism
  • Evidence of disease (e.g., diabetes, congestive heart failure; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; hypoventilation, defined as daytime partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) \>45 mm Hg; major neurological or neuromuscular disorders; cancer; uncontrolled hypertension; etc.);
  • Contraindications to supplemental oxygen or PAP (e.g., recent trans-sphenoidal surgery).
  • Unwillingness or inability to provide informed consent
  • Study physician considers subject to be unable to safely complete the study protocol
