Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome – an oxidative stress disorder
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSA) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, the underlying mechanisms are not entirely understood. This review will summarize the evidence that substantiates the notion that the repeated apnoea-related hypoxic events in OSA, similarly to hypoxia/reperfusion injury, initiate oxidative stress. Thus, affecting energy metabolism, redox-sensitive gene expression, and expression of adhesion molecules. A limited number of studies substantiate this hypothesis directly by demonstrating increased free radical production in OSA leukocytes and increased plasma-lipid peroxidation. A great number of studies, however, support this hypothesis indirectly. Increase in circulating levels of adenosine and urinary uric acid in OSA are implicated with increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Activation of redox-sensitive gene expression is suggested by the increase in some protein products of these genes, including VEGF, erythropoietin, endothelin-1, inflammatory cytokines and adhesion molecules. These implicate the participation of redox-sensitive transcription factors as HIF-1 AP-1 and NFkappaB. Finally, adhesion molecule-dependent increased avidity of OSA monocytes to endothelial cells, combined with diminished NO bioavailability, lead to exaggerated endothelial cell damage and dysfunction. Cumulatively, these processes may exacerbate atherogenic sequelae in OSA.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
