Enhanced Release of Superoxide from Polymorphonuclear Neutrophils in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Impact of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapy
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Free oxygen radicals have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disorders. Therefore, we aimed to test the hypothesis that increased oxidative stress constitutes one underlying mechanism for the connection between OSA and cardiovascular disease. In 18 patients with OSA the release of superoxide from polymorphonuclear neutrophils was determined after stimulation with the bacterial tripeptide formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine (fMLP) and the calcium ionophore A23. Superoxide production was measured as superoxide dismutase-inhibitable reduction of cytochrome c. Blood samples were obtained before and after two nights of CPAP therapy and after 4.8 +/- 0.6 mo of follow-up. Ten healthy young volunteers and 10 lung cancer patients without OSA but a similar spectrum of comorbidity served as controls. Before CPAP, neutrophil superoxide generation was markedly enhanced in OSA when compared with both control groups. Effective CPAP therapy led to a rapid and long-lasting decrease of superoxide release in OSA. In conclusion, OSA is linked with a "priming" of neutrophils for enhanced respiratory burst. The increased superoxide generation, which might have major impact on the development of cardiovascular disorders, is virtually fully reversed by effective CPAP therapy.

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.
