Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to define the mechanisms through which Obstructive Sleep ApneaHypopnea OSAH promotes abnormal metabolic processes which characterize the metabolic syndrome The investigators hypothesize that the sleep fragmentation and intermittent sleep hypoxia which occur in OSAH patients promote oxidative stress and inflammation which in turn lead to insulin resistance dyslipidemia abnormal vascular reactivity and other processes which are consistent with the metabolic syndrome
Detailed Description: The metabolic syndrome has been defined as insulin resistance central obesity systemic hypertension and dyslipidemia and is associated with increased cardiovascular CV risk Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea OSAH is also associated with increased CV risk and insulin resistance Since OSAH is associated with oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory processes both of which are associated with insulin resistance it follows that oxidative stress and inflammation may mediate the linkage between OSAH insulin resistance and ultimately the metabolic syndrome

The overall goal of this research is to test the hypothesis that oxidative stress and inflammation link OSAH to insulin resistance as well as other CV risk-promoting conditions reflecting the metabolic syndrome eg hyperlipidemia We will specifically test if the individual sleep consequences of OSAH including sleep fragmentation and intermittent sleep hypoxia promote oxidative stress and inflammation which in turn promote insulin resistance and other features of the metabolic syndrome

Aim 1a To determine the effect of sleep fragmentation on oxidative stress and inflammation and features of the metabolic syndrome including insulin resistance dyslipidemia obesity and hypertension

Aim 1b To assess the interaction between pre-existing metabolic syndrome and the overweight condition without metabolic syndrome with regard to the effects of sleep fragmentation on the study variables we will contrast the effect of experimentally-induced sleep fragmentation in non-OSAHoverweight individuals with the metabolic syndrome non-OSAHoverweight individuals without metabolic syndrome and a control group of non-OSAHnormal weight without metabolic syndrome

Aim 2 To evaluate the effect of intermittent sleep hypoxia on oxidative stress and inflammation and explore the relationships between these two processes and insulin resistance lipid profile heart period variability and plasma cortisol

Aim 3 Using microarray data from peripheral monocytes we will explore if specific gene expression patterns after the study conditions are associated with alterations consistent with metabolic syndrome

Aim 4 This exploratory aim is to collect preliminary data regarding the correlation among genetic variations polymorphisms gene expression patterns microarray and resultant protein production proteomics These data will be used for hypothesis development
