Abstract
Hypoventilation is a complication that is not uncommon in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and calls for both medical treatment of the underlying disease and, frequently, noninvasive ventilation either during exacerbations requiring hospitalization or in a chronic state in the patient at home. Obesity hypoventilation syndrome by definition is associated with ventilatory failure and hypercapnia. It may or may not be accompanied by obstructive sleep apnea, which when detected becomes an additional target for positive airway pressure treatment. Intensive research has not completely resolved the best choice of treatment, and the simplest modality, continuous positive airway pressure, may still be entertained.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the quality of sleep, presence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and its relationship with the presence of snoring, cephalometric characteristics, degree of collapse of the upper airways, and orofacial myofunctional profile in obese and overweight individuals. METHODS All participants completed polysomnography, as well as sleep and snoring questionnaires. We further performed orofacial, otorhinolaryngological, and anthropometric evaluations on all participants. RESULTS A total of 102 adults, comprising 29 obese, 21 overweight, and 52 eutrophic individuals of both sexes participated in this study. We observed a high prevalence of snoring in both obese and overweight (100%), and in 65% of eutrophic individuals. Among the obese subjects 58% had a severe degree of OSA, whereas 4% of eutrophic subjects presented a risk for OSA development. Sleep quality was related to body mass index (BMI) and cervical and abdominal circumference. All obese and overweight individuals presented with orofacial myofunctional alterations such as facial asymmetry, alteration of the maxilla-jaw relationship, inadequate tongue posture, changes in masticatory pattern and swallowing, and inadequate general orofacial myofunctional condition. Airway obstructions at the retropalatal and retrolingual levels > 75% were observed in at least 48% of the individuals. CONCLUSION Obese and overweight individuals presented a higher risk for the development of OSA compared with eutrophic patients, and obese individuals presented a greater severity of OSA. The higher the BMI and greater the cervical and abdominal circumferences, the higher the prevalence of OSA, worse the quality of sleep, and more serious orofacial myofunctional characteristics in this population.

[PMID: 37233170 DOI: 10.3390/jcdd10050203] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 04/28/2023] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Our aim was to determine the impact that metabolic syndrome (MS) produces in long-term heart rate variability (HRV), quantitatively synthesizing the results of published studies to characterize the cardiac autonomic dysfunction in MS. METHODS We searched electronic databases for original research works with long-term HRV recordings (24 h) that compared people with MS (MS+) versus healthy people as a control group (MS-). This systematic review and meta-analysis (MA) was performed according to PRISMA guidelines and registered at PROSPERO (CRD42022358975). RESULTS A total of 13 articles were included in the qualitative synthesis, and 7 of them met the required criteria to be included in the MA. SDNN (-0.33 [-0.57, 0.09], p = 0.008), LF (-0.32 [-0.41, -0.23], p < 0.00001), VLF (-0.21 [-0.31, -0.10], p = 0.0001) and TP (-0.20 [-0.33, -0.07], p = 0.002) decreased in patients with MS. The rMSSD (p = 0.41), HF (p = 0.06) and LF/HF ratio (p = 0.64) were not modified. CONCLUSIONS In long-term recordings (24 h), SDNN, LF, VLF and TP were consistently decreased in patients with MS. Other parameters that could be included in the quantitative analysis were not modified in MS+ patients (rMSSD, HF, ratio LF/HF). Regarding non-linear analyses, the results are not conclusive due to the low number of datasets found, which prevented us from conducting an MA.

Abstract
Purpose: The effect of comorbid obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) on hospitalized patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) has not been studied so far. This study elucidates the outcomes of DKA patients with OHS compared to those without OHS. Methods: Patients above 18 years of age were included in the study. The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database of 2017 and 2018 was used and data were extracted using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes; OHS ICD-10 code being “E66.2” and DKA ICD-10 codes being “E08.1, E09.1, E10.1, E11.1, and E13.1.” The comorbid medical conditions were also identified using the ICD-10 codes. Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the impact of OHS on in-hospital outcomes of DKA patients. Results: OHS was prevalent in 0.61% of the general population, as per the NIS database in the years 2017 and 2018. Primary outcomes of the study were in-hospital mortality, whereas secondary outcomes included acute kidney failure, the requirement for invasive mechanical ventilation, length of stay, and cost of hospitalization. OHS in DKA patients was associated with increased mortality (odds ratio (OR): 4.35 (2.63-7.20), p < 0.00001; adjusted OR (aOR): 1.79 (1.01-3.15), p < 0.044), acute kidney failure (OR: 2.44 (1.79-3.33), p < 0.00001; aOR: 1.43 (1.03-2.00), p < 0.031), invasive mechanical ventilation (OR: 4.17 (2.90-5.98), p < 0.00001; aOR: 1.62 (1.08-2.41), p < 0.017), increased length of stay (10.02 ± 12.42 vs. 4.70 ± 6.31, p < 0.00001), and cost of care (132314 ± 197111.8 vs. 54245.06 ± 98079.89, p < 0.00001). All-cause mortality of patients with DKA and OHS using the Cox proportional hazards ratio was 1.70 (1.02-2.84, p < 0.024) after adjusting for age, race, sex, smoking, obesity, and comorbidities such as heart failure, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic ischemic heart disease, chronic kidney disease, liver disease, and cerebral infarction. Conclusion: OHS is an independent risk factor for mortality in DKA, irrespective of the degree of obesity. Further prospective studies are recommended to study the effects of different treatment modalities of OHS such as identification of the need for early non-invasive ventilation or for early invasive mechanical ventilation to improve outcomes in DKA patients.

Abstract
Rationale: Evidence suggests that continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment promotes weight gain in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It is unclear whether weight gain is influenced by CPAP adherence or comorbid disorders. Objectives: To examine the CPAP effects on body mass index (BMI) and local adiposity and the potential moderators of CPAP effects on BMI in patients with OSA. Methods: We searched PubMed/Medline, Embase, and Cochrane through December 2019. Randomized controlled trials of CPAP versus control treatment with ⩾4 weeks' treatment were included. Results: A total of 39 randomized controlled trials with 6,954 subjects were included. In intention-to-treat analysis, the BMI increased significantly after CPAP treatment compared with control treatment (weighted mean difference [WMD], 0.148 kg/m2; 95% confidence interval, 0.04-0.26; P = 0.001). In studies demonstrating an increase in the BMI, waist and neck circumferences were also significantly increased. Subgroup analyses revealed that an increased BMI was attributable to CPAP use of ⩽5 h/night (WMD, 0.231) but was not attributable to CPAP use of >5 h/night (WMD, 0.001; between-group P value = 0.049). Furthermore, the BMI increased significantly in patients without cardiovascular disease (CVD; WMD, 0.200), whereas it decreased significantly in those with CVD at baseline (WMD, -0.188; between-group P value < 0.001). Moreover, the BMI increased significantly in patients with dysglycemia (WMD, 0.499) but did not increase in those without dysglycemia at baseline (WMD, 0.100; between-group P value = 0.032). Meta-regression confirmed the subgroup findings. Conclusions: The BMI increased significantly in patients with OSA after CPAP treatment, especially in those with CPAP use of ⩽5 h/night, without CVD and/or with dysglycemia at baseline. CPAP use of at least 5 h/night seems to be necessary in mitigating the risk for weight gain in patients with OSA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There are many mechanisms for improving the clinical and blood gas status of patients with the obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by non-invasive ventilation (NIV) at home. Our objective was to set up a pilot study to evaluate the potential modification of the sensitivity of the respiratory centers to CO2 by NIV in paired new COPD and OHS patients. METHODS We assessed the sensitivity of the respiratory centers to CO2 by the Read method in 3 COPD patients and 3 OHS patients newly treated by NIV and again 3 months later. We compared their results to those of 6 control subjects. RESULTS All the patients included had altered ventilatory responses to CO2 with slopes of less of than 1 L.min-1.mmHg-1. Mean coefficients of variation were significantly higher in patients than in healthy subjects (P=0.007). Patients who improved their CO2 sensitivity slope were those most observant of NIV. CONCLUSION This work showed significant changes in the ventilatory response to hypercapnia in patients with either OHS or COPD after NIV therapy. The significance of these changes deserves to be studied.

Abstract
Breathing is coupled to metabolism. Leptin, a peptide mainly secreted in proportion to adipose tissue mass, increases energy expenditure with a parallel increase in breathing. We demonstrate that optogenetic activation of LepRb neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) mimics the respiratory stimulation after systemic leptin administration. We show that leptin activates the sodium leak channel (NALCN), thereby depolarizing a subset of glutamatergic (VGluT2) LepRb NTS neurons expressing galanin. Mice with selective deletion of NALCN in LepRb neurons have increased breathing irregularity and central apneas. On a high-fat diet, these mice gain weight with an associated depression of minute ventilation and tidal volume, which are not detected in control littermates. Anatomical mapping reveals LepRb NTS-originating glutamatergic axon terminals in a brainstem inspiratory premotor region (rVRG) and dorsomedial hypothalamus. These findings directly link a defined subset of NTS LepRb cells to the matching of ventilation to energy balance.

Abstract
Asthma is a common chronic respiratory disorder with relatively good outcomes in the majority of patients with appropriate maintenance therapy. However, in a small minority, patients can experience severe asthma with respiratory failure and hypercapnia, necessitating intensive care unit admission. Hypercapnia occurs due to alveolar hypoventilation and insufficient removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the blood. Although mild hypercapnia is generally well tolerated in patients with asthma, there is accumulating evidence that elevated levels of CO2 can act as a gaso-signaling molecule, triggering deleterious effects in various organs such as the lung, skeletal muscles and the innate immune system. Here, we review recent advances on pathophysiological response to hypercapnia and discuss potential detrimental effects of hypercapnia in patients with asthma.

A multidisciplinary weight loss intervention in obese adolescents with and without sleep-disordered breathing improves cardiometabolic health, whether SDB was normalized or not. Sleep Med 2020; 75:225-235.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pediatric obesity and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) are strongly associated, and both promote metabolic impairments. However, the effects of a lifestyle intervention on the overall metabolic syndrome (MetS) are unknown. The objectives were i) to evaluate the effects of a lifestyle intervention on cardiometabolic risk (CMR), assessed with a dichotomous (MetS) and a continuous (MetScoreFM) instrument, in obese adolescents with and without SDB and ii) to compare the post-intervention cardiometabolic responses between adolescents with persistent (apnea-hypopnea index; AHI≥2) or normalized-SDB (AHI<2). METHODS Seventy-six adolescents with obesity recruited from two specialized institutions underwent a 9-12month diet and exercise intervention. Sleep and SDB (AHI≥2) were studied by polysomnography. Anthropometric parameters, fat mass (FM), glucose, insulin, lipid and leptin profiles, blood pressure (BP), MetScoreFM and MetS were assessed pre- and post-intervention. We performed comparisons between Non-SDB and SDB groups and between Normalized-SDB and Persistent-SDB subgroups. RESULTS Fifty participants completed the study. Pre-intervention, twenty youth had SDB (40%) with higher insulin concentrations and systolic BP than Non-SDB participants (p < 0.01), for a similar degree of obesity. Post-intervention, MetScoreFM (p < 0.001) and MetS prevalence (p < 0.05) were decreased in both groups. Eleven participants (55%) normalized SDB along with a decrease in insulin concentrations and BP (p < 0.05). Triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol concentrations (p < 0.01) improved equally in the Normalized and Persistent-SDB subgroups. CONCLUSION SDB was associated with lower insulin sensitivity and higher BP but did not affect the lipid profile. A diet and exercise lifestyle intervention is effective in decreasing the CMR whether or not SDB was normalized in obese adolescents.

Abstract
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is an undesirable consequence of obesity, defined as daytime hypoventilation, sleep disorder breathing and obesity; during the past few years the prevalence of extreme obesity has markedly increased worldwide consequently increasing the prevalence of OHS. Patients with OHS have a lower quality of life and a higher risk of unfavourable cardiometabolic consequences. Early diagnosis and effective treatment can lead to significant improvement in patient outcomes; therefore, such data has noticeably raised interest in the management and treatment of this sleep disorder. This paper will discuss the findings on the main current treatment modalities OHS will be discussed.

Abstract
RATIONALE Leptin treats upper airway obstruction and alveolar hypoventilation in leptin-deficient ob/ob mice. However, obese humans and mice with diet-induced obesity (DIO) are resistant to leptin because of poor permeability of the blood-brain barrier. We propose that intranasal leptin will bypass leptin resistance and treat sleep-disordered breathing in obesity. OBJECTIVES To assess if intranasal leptin can treat obesity hypoventilation and upper airway obstruction during sleep in mice with DIO. METHODS Male C57BL/6J mice were fed with a high-fat diet for 16 weeks. A single dose of leptin (0.4 mg/kg) or BSA (vehicle) were administered intranasally or intraperitoneally, followed by either sleep studies (n = 10) or energy expenditure measurements (n = 10). A subset of mice was treated with leptin daily for 14 days for metabolic outcomes (n = 20). In a separate experiment, retrograde viral tracers were used to examine connections between leptin receptors and respiratory motoneurons. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Acute intranasal, but not intraperitoneal, leptin decreased the number of oxygen desaturation events in REM sleep, and increased ventilation in non-REM and REM sleep, independently of metabolic effects. Chronic intranasal leptin decreased food intake and body weight, whereas intraperitoneal leptin had no effect. Intranasal leptin induced signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 phosphorylation in hypothalamic and medullary centers, whereas intraperitoneal leptin had no effect. Leptin receptor-positive cells were synaptically connected to respiratory motoneurons. CONCLUSIONS In mice with DIO, intranasal leptin bypassed leptin resistance and significantly attenuated sleep-disordered breathing independently of body weight.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the obese patient population, some patients have severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with daytime hypoventilation. Such patients are generally identified on the basis of the presence or absence of daytime hypercapnia, and the condition is called obesity hypoventilation syndrome. However, mechanisms for such daytime hypoventilation remain unclear.
AIM To investigate metabolic syndrome and daytime hypercapnia association based on hypercapnia prevalence in obese OSA patients in a nested case-control study.
METHODS Consecutive obese patients (body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2) who underwent polysomnography due to suspected OSA were included. Among them, patients with severe OSA (apnea hypopnea index ≥ 30/h) were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of hypercapnia during wakefulness (arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide ≥ or < 45 Torr, respectively). The characteristics and clinical features of these two groups were compared.
RESULTS Among 97 eligible patients, 25 patients (25.8%) had daytime hypercapnia. There were no significant differences in age, gender, body mass index, apnea-hypopnea index, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores between the two groups. However, patients with hypercapnia had a significantly lower arterial partial pressure of oxygen level (75.8 ± 8.2 torr vs 79.9 ± 8.7 torr, P = 0.042) and higher arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide level (46.6 ± 2.5 torr vs 41.0 ± 2.9 torr, P < 0.001). Additionally, patients with hypercapnia were more likely to have metabolic syndrome (72.0% vs 48.6%, P = 0.043) and a higher metabolic score (the number of satisfied criteria of metabolic syndrome). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the presence of metabolic syndrome was associated with the presence of hypercapnia (OR = 2.85, 95%CI: 1.04-7.84, P = 0.042).
CONCLUSION Among obese patients with severe OSA, 26% of patients had hypercapnia during wakefulness. The presence of metabolic syndrome was independently correlated with the presence of daytime hypercapnia.

Are obstructive sleep apnea and sleep improved in response to multidisciplinary weight loss interventions in youth with obesity? A systematic review and meta-analysis. Int J Obes (Lond) 2020; 44:753-770. [PMID: 31911659 DOI: 10.1038/s41366-019-0497-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2019] [Revised: 10/23/2019] [Accepted: 11/06/2019] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric obesity is closely associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and short sleep duration. While multidisciplinary weight loss interventions are recommended for pediatric obesity management, the evidence for their effects on OSA severity and overall sleep in youth have not been systematically examined. OBJECTIVES To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis investigating the effects of multidisciplinary weight loss interventions on OSA severity and prevalence, and on overall sleep health in youth with obesity. METHODS A systematic search of interventional studies (participants age range: 10-19 yrs) was performed using PubMed, CENTRAL and Embase, from inception to May 2019. The quality of the evidence was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. RESULTS Ten studies were included by the end of the screening process. Ninety percent of the included studies reported a decrease in OSA prevalence post-intervention, and OSA was normalized for 46.2-79.7% of the youth. The meta-analysis comprising seven longitudinal studies revealed significant reductions in apnea-hypopnea index (effect size: -0.51, 95%CI -0.94 to -0.08, p = 0.019), and oxygen desaturation index (effect size: -0.28, 95%CI = -0.50 to -0.05, p = 0.016). Seventy-five percent of the studies reported improved sleep duration in youth with OSA. CONCLUSIONS Evidence suggests that multidisciplinary weight loss interventions result in improvements in OSA severity and sleep duration in youth with obesity. Future randomized controlled trials are warranted to better assess and understand the independent implications of weight loss, fat mass decrease and chronic exercise on OSA and sleep health in this population.

Abstract
Molecular oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are the primary gaseous substrate and product of oxidative phosphorylation in respiring organisms, respectively. Variance in the levels of either of these gasses outside of the physiological range presents a serious threat to cell, tissue, and organism survival. Therefore, it is essential that endogenous levels are monitored and kept at appropriate concentrations to maintain a state of homeostasis. Higher organisms such as mammals have evolved mechanisms to sense O2 and CO2 both in the circulation and in individual cells and elicit appropriate corrective responses to promote adaptation to commonly encountered conditions such as hypoxia and hypercapnia. These can be acute and transient nontranscriptional responses, which typically occur at the level of whole animal physiology or more sustained transcriptional responses, which promote chronic adaptation. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms by which mammals sense changes in O2 and CO2 and elicit adaptive responses to maintain homeostasis. We also discuss crosstalk between these pathways and how they may represent targets for therapeutic intervention in a range of pathological states.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the serum levels of leptin and adiponectin in different obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) phenotypes. Methods: Obese patients who were admitted to our sleep laboratory were included. All patients underwent spirometry, daytime arterial blood gas analysis, polysomnography and transthoracic echocardiography. Serum levels of adiponectin and leptin were recorded. Results: Analysis included 146 OSA patients (81 females, 65 males, age: 49.8 ± 10.7 years, body mass index: 40.3 ± 4.9 kg/m2, 47.9% severe OSA, 42.5% severe obesity). Females had higher leptin and adiponectin levels (p < 0.001; p < 0.001, respectively). Leptin levels were higher in patients with severe obesity (p < 0.001). Severe OSA patients had lower leptin and adiponectin levels (p = 0.023; p = 0.035, respectively). Conclusion: Adipokine levels were different especially in OSA patients with severe obesity, female gender and severe OSA.

Abstract
Ventilation/carbon dioxide production (VE/VCO2slope) is used clinically to determine cardiorespiratory fitness and morbidity in heart failure (HF). Previously, we demonstrated that lower lean leg mass is associated with high VE/VCO2slope during exercise in HF. In healthy individuals, we evaluated 1) whether VE/VCO2slope differed between lean and overweight women and 2) the relationship between lean leg mass and VE/VCO2slope in overweight sedentary (OWS), overweight trained (OWTR) and lean, trained (LTR) women. METHODS Gas exchange and ventilation were collected during a treadmill peak oxygen uptake test (VO2peak) in 40 women [26 OWS (29 ± 7 yrs., mean ± SD), 7 OWTR (33 ± 5 yrs) and 7 LTR (26 ± 6 yrs)]. Body composition was measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry. RESULTS VO2peak was highest in LTR (46.6 ± 8 ml/kg/min) compared with OWTR (38.1 ± 4.9 ml/kg/min) and OWS women (25.3 ± 4.8 ml/kg/min, p < 0.05). Lean leg mass was highest in OWTR and lowest in LTR women (p < 0.05). VE/VCO2slope was similar between groups (p > 0.05). Higher lean leg mass was associated with lower VE/VCO2slope in overweight women (OWS + OWTR: r = -0.55, p < 0.001), contrasting with higher VE/VCO2slope in LTR women (r = 0.86, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest VE/VCO2slope may not differentiate between low and high cardiorespiratory fitness in healthy individuals and muscle mass may play a role in determining the VE/VCO2slope, independent of disease.

Abstract
Leptin is a peptide hormone produced mainly in white adipose tissue. It is known to regulate energy homeostasis, inflammation, metabolism, and sympathetic nerve activity. Increasing evidence suggests it has a role in ventilatory function and upper airway obstruction. Leptin levels correlate positively with measurements of adiposity and can potentially provide important insights into the pathophysiology of diseases associated with obesity. Obesity is a strong risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea, a disease characterized by periodic upper airway occlusion during sleep. The neuromuscular activity that maintains upper airway patency during sleep and the anatomy of upper airway are key factors involved in its pathogenesis. Experimental studies using animal models of a low leptin state such as leptin deficiency have shown that leptin regulates sleep architecture, upper airway patency, ventilatory function, and hypercapnic ventilatory response. However, findings from human studies do not consistently support the data from the animal models. The effect of leptin on the pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea is being investigated, but the results of studies have been confounded by leptin's diurnal variation and the short-term effects of feeding, adiposity, age, and sex. Improved study design and methods of assessing functional leptin levels, specifically their central versus peripheral effects, will improve understanding of the role of leptin in sleep apnea.

Abstract
Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) occurs frequently in premature infants who have apnea of prematurity. Immaturity of the respiratory network from low central respiratory drive and the greater contribution of the carotid body on baseline breathing leads to respiratory instability in premature infants presenting as apnea and periodic breathing. During the 2nd week after birth, the smallest and the youngest premature infants have increased frequency of apnea and periodic breathing and associated oxygen desaturations that can persist for weeks after birth. CIH increases the production of reactive oxygen species that causes tissue damage. Premature infants have decreased capacity to scavenge reactive oxygen species. Oxidative injury is the cause of many of the co-morbidities that are seen in premature infants. In this review we discuss who low fat mass and the resulting relative deficiencies in leptin and adiponectin could contribute to the increase frequency of oxygen desaturations that occurs days after birth in the smallest and youngest premature infants. Leptin is a central respiratory stimulant and adiponectin protects the lung from vascular leak, oxidative injury and vascular remodeling.

Abstract
Regulatory neuropeptides control and regulate breathing in physiological and pathophysiological conditions. While they have been identified in the neurons of major respiratory areas, they can be active not only at the central level, but also at the periphery via chemoreceptors, vagal afferents, or locally within lungs and airways. Some neuropeptides, such as leptin or substance P, are respiratory stimulants; others, such as neurotensin, produce variable effects on respiration depending on the site of application. Some neuropeptides have been implicated in pathological states, such as obstructive sleep apnea or asthma. This article provides a concise review of the possible role and functions of several selected neuropeptides in the process of breathing in health and disease and in lung pathologies.

Abstract
Population-based studies showing the negative impact of type 2 diabetes (T2D) on lung function are overviewed. Among the well-recognized pathophysiological mechanisms, the metabolic pathways related to insulin resistance (IR), low-grade chronic inflammation, leptin resistance, microvascular damage, and autonomic neuropathy are emphasized. Histopathological changes are exposed, and findings reported from experimental models are clearly differentiated from those described in humans. The accelerated decline in pulmonary function that appears in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) with related abnormalities of glucose tolerance and diabetes is considered as an example to further investigate the relationship between T2D and the lung. Furthermore, a possible causal link between antihyperglycemic therapies and pulmonary function is examined. T2D similarly affects breathing during sleep, becoming an independent risk factor for higher rates of sleep apnea, leading to nocturnal hypoxemia and daytime sleepiness. Therefore, the impact of T2D on sleep breathing and its influence on sleep architecture is analyzed. Finally, the effect of improving some pathophysiological mechanisms, primarily IR and inflammation, as well as the optimization of blood glucose control on sleep breathing is evaluated. In summary, the lung should be considered by those providing care for people with diabetes and raise the central issue of whether the normalization of glucose levels can improve pulmonary function and ameliorate sleep-disordered breathing. Therefore, patients with T2D should be considered a vulnerable group for pulmonary dysfunction. However, further research aimed at elucidating how to screen for the lung impairment in the population with diabetes in a cost-effective manner is needed.

Abstract
While chronic systemic inflammation in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been traditionally considered a consequence of intermittent hypoxia, several treatment studies targeting inflammation suggest that this process may precede the development of the disorder. A recent cross-sectional study in the Penn State Child Cohort (PSCC) revealed that inflammation largely mediates the association between visceral adiposity and OSA in adolescence. The purpose of this study was to examine for the first time whether, longitudinally, inflammation precedes OSA during this developmental period. A subsample of the PSCC with longitudinal sleep and inflammation data (n=51) was included in this study. Participants underwent 9-h polysomnography (22:00-7:00), physical exam, and fasting morning blood draw at both time points. Plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) was measured via ELISA. At follow-up, visceral, subcutaneous, and total fat area were assessed via dual X-ray absorptiometry. Sex differences in body composition emerged in adolescence, with boys having more visceral adiposity than girls. Longitudinal increases in waist circumference from childhood to adolescence were associated with increases in CRP (ΔCRP) and follow-up CRP in boys, but not girls. Furthermore, in boys, ΔCRP was associated with higher follow-up apnea/hypopnea index (AHI). When ΔCRP was entered into a model predicting follow-up AHI, Δwaist circumference was no longer significant, indicating that inflammation largely explains the association between increasing central obesity and OSA severity. These preliminary findings, in a longitudinal, non-clinical sample of children developing OSA, suggest that inflammation derived from visceral adipose tissue precedes the development of the disorder, suggesting a potential causal mechanism.

Abstract
Background To date, an important aspect that has still not been clarified is the assessment of OHS severity. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate whether grading OHS severity according to PaCO2 values may be useful in order to provide a more definite characterization and targeted management of patients. In this regard, baseline anthropometric and sleep polygraphic characteristics, treatment options, and follow up outcomes, were compared between OHS patients with different degree of severity (as assessed according to PaCO2 values). Methods Patients were classified into three groups, according to PaCO2 values: 1) mild (46 mmHg ≤ PaCO2 ≤ 50 mmHg), moderate (51 mmHg ≤ PaCO2 ≤ 55 mmHg), severe (PaCO2 ≥ 56 mmHg). Therefore, differences among the groups in terms of baseline anthropometric, and sleep polygraphic characteristics, treatment modalities and follow up outcomes were retrospectively evaluated. Results Patients with more severe degree of hypercapnia were assessed to have increased BMI and bicarbonate levels, worse diurnal and nocturnal hypoxemia, and a more severe impairment in pulmonary mechanics compared to milder OHS. CPAP responders rate significantly decreased from mild to severe OHS. After follow up, daytime sleepiness (as measure by the ESS), PaO2, and PaCO2 significantly improved with PAP therapy in all three groups. Discussion and Conclusions Classification of OHS severity according to PaCO2 levels may be useful to provide a more defined characterization and, consequently, a more targeted management of OHS patients. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract
Obesity is both a cause and a possible consequence of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), as OSA seems to affect parameters involved in energy balance regulation, including food intake, hormonal regulation of hunger/satiety, energy metabolism and physical activity. It is known that weight loss improves OSA, yet it remains unclear why continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) often results in weight gain.The goal of this systematic review is to explore if and how CPAP affects the behaviour and/or metabolism involved in regulating energy balance.CPAP appears to correct for a hormonal profile characterised by abnormally high leptin and ghrelin levels in OSA, by reducing the circulating levels of each. This is expected to reduce excess food intake. However, reliable measures of food intake are lacking, and not yet sufficient to make conclusions. Although studies are limited and inconsistent, CPAP may alter energy metabolism, with reports of reductions in resting metabolic rate or sleeping metabolic rate. CPAP appears to not have an appreciable effect on altering physical activity levels. More work is needed to characterise how CPAP affects energy balance regulation.It is clear that promoting CPAP in conjunction with other weight loss approaches should be used to encourage optimal outcomes in OSA patients.

Abstract
Our aim was to compare laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) for treating morbid obesity and its related comorbidities. An electronic literature search was performed from inception to May 2015 and a total of 18,455 patients, enrolled in 62 recent studies, were included in this meta-analysis. Patients receiving LRYGB had a significantly higher percentage of excess weight loss and better resolution of hypertension, dyslipidemia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and arthritis compared with those receiving LSG. LRYGB and LSG showed similar effects on type 2 diabetes mellitus and sleep apnea.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The worldwide prevalence of obesity has reached epidemic proportions. Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is a common yet largely undiagnosed and mistreated condition that likely carries a high mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical characteristics, hospital outcome, outcome following hospital discharge and predictors of death in a large cohort of patients hospitalized with OHS. OHS is an important condition as many patients with this syndrome are misdiagnosed and receive inappropriate treatment. METHODS We reviewed the electronic medical records of patients with unequivocal OHS admitted to a 525-bed tertiary-care teaching hospital over a 5-year period. Demographic and clinical data as well as hospital disposition were recorded. In order to determine the patients' post-discharge status, we linked our database to the database of death certificates of the State Registrar of Vital Records. RESULTS We identified 600 patients who met the inclusion criteria for this study. The patients' mean age was 58 ± 15 years with a mean body mass index of 48.2 ± 8.3 kg m-2; 64% were women. Thirty-seven percent had a history of diabetes and 43% had been misdiagnosed as having chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, while none had been previously diagnosed with OHS. The most common admission diagnoses were respiratory failure, heart failure and sepsis. Ninety (15%) patients died during the index hospitalization. The patients' age, S-creatinine, respiratory failure, sepsis and admission to the ICU were independent predictors of hospital mortality. The hospital survivors were followed for a mean of 1,174 ± 501 d (3.2 ± 1.3 years) from the index hospitalization. On follow-up, 98 of the 510 (19%) hospital survivors died, with an overall cumulative mortality of 31.3%. The patients' age, S-creatinine and admission to the ICU were independent predictors of post-hospital mortality. CONCLUSION Obesity hypoventilation syndrome is a common disease that is frequently misdiagnosed and mistreated and carries a 3-year morality, which is significantly worse than that for most cancers combined. Considering the high mortality of this disease, all patients with a body mass index > 35 kg m-2 should be screened for OHS; those patients with both early and established OHS should be referred to a pulmonary and/or sleep specialist for evaluation for non-invasive positive pressure ventilation, to a dietician for dietary counseling and lifestyle modification and to a bariatric surgeon for evaluation for bariatric surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Eligibility criteria for bariatric surgery (BS) are based on BMI and the presence of major comorbidities. Our aim was to analyze the usefulness of body adiposity determination in establishing the indication for BS. METHODS In order to analyze the cardiometabolic risk according to eligibility criteria for BS, four groups were studied. Morbidly obese patients with BMI ≥ 40 kg/m(2) (n = 360), and obese subjects with BMI ≥ 35 kg/m(2) and at least one comorbidity (n = 431), represented two groups of patients meeting original NIH criteria for BS. A third group included two cohorts of patients with a high body fat (BF)% that do not meet the original NIH eligibility criteria for BS: patients with either a BMI <35 kg/m(2) or a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m(2) without comorbidities (n = 266, NEHF). Lean subjects by BMI were the reference group (n = 140). BMI, BF% and markers of insulin sensitivity, lipid profile, and cardiovascular risk were measured. RESULTS Individuals from the NEHF group exhibited increased HbA1c (P < 0.05) and decreased insulin sensitivity evidenced by a significant reduction in QUICKI (P < 0.001). Triglyceride concentrations were similarly increased (P < 0.05) in the three groups of obese patients. Uric acid concentrations were significantly elevated (P < 0.01) to a similar extent in the obese groups. Levels of the inflammatory marker CRP and hepatic enzymes were significantly increased in the three obese groups. CONCLUSION The present study provides evidence for the existence of an adverse cardiometabolic profile in subjects currently considered to be outside traditional NIH guidelines but exhibiting a highly increased adiposity. It is concluded that body composition analysis yields valuable information to be incorporated into indication criteria for BS and that adiposity may be an independent indicator for BS.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome is characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway collapse during sleep resulting in chronic intermittent hypoxia (IH). Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome, through IH, promotes cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) secretion is upregulated by IH, and is able to modulate adipocyte metabolism. Therefore, the present study aimed to characterize the role of ET-1 in the metabolic consequences of IH on adipose tissue in vivo and in vitro. Wistar rats were submitted to 14 days of IH-cycles (30 s of 21% FiO2 and 30 s of 5% FiO2 ; 8 h day(-1) ) or normoxia (air-air cycles) and were treated or not with bosentan, a dual type A and B endothelin receptor (ETA-R and ETB-R) antagonist. Bosentan treatment decreased plasma free fatty acid and triglyceride levels, and inhibited IH-induced lipolysis in adipose tissue. Moreover, IH induced a 2-fold increase in ET-1 transcription and ETA-R expression in adipose tissue that was reversed by bosentan. In 3T3-L1 adipocytes, ET-1 upregulated its own and its ETA-R transcription and this effect was abolished by bosentan. Moreover, ET-1 induced glycerol release and inhibited insulin-induced glucose uptake. Bosentan and BQ123 inhibited these effects. Bosentan also reversed the ET-1-induced phosphorylation of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) on Ser(660) . Finally, ET-1-induced lipolysis and HSL phosphorylation were also observed under hypoxia. Altogether, these data suggest that ET-1 is involved in IH-induced lipolysis in Wistar rats, and that upregulation of ET-1 production and ETA-R expression by ET-1 itself under IH could amplify its effects. Moreover, ET-1-induced lipolysis could be mediated through ETA-R and activation of HSL by Ser(660) phosphorylation.

Abstract
The obesity epidemic, combined with the lack of available and effective treatments for morbid obesity, is a scientific and public health priority. Worldwide, bariatric and metabolic surgeries are increasingly being performed to effectively aid weight loss in patients with severe obesity, as well as because of the favourable metabolic effects of the procedures. The positive effects of bariatric surgery, especially with respect to improvements in type 2 diabetes mellitus, have expanded the eligibility criteria for metabolic surgery to patients with diabetes mellitus and a BMI of 30-35 kg/m(2). However, the limitations of BMI, both in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients, need to be considered, particularly for determining the actual adiposity and fat distribution of the patients following weight loss. Understanding the characteristics shared by bariatric and metabolic surgeries, as well as their differential aspects and outcomes, is required to enhance patient benefits and operative achievements. For a holistic approach that focuses on the multifactorial effects of bariatric and metabolic surgery to be possible, a paradigm shift that goes beyond the pure semantics is needed. Such a shift could lead to profound clinical implications for eligibility criteria and the definition of success of the surgical approach.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is probably the most common respiratory disorder, with recent data from the United States and Europe suggesting that between 14% and 49% of middle-aged men have clinically significant OSA. The intimate relationship between OSA and obesity means that its prevalence will only increase as the global obesity epidemic evolves. At an individual level, OSA leads to a significant decrease in quality of life (QOL) and functional capacity, alongside a markedly increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death. Emerging data also suggest that the presence and severity of OSA and associated nocturnal hypoxemia are associated with an increased risk of diabetes and cancer. At a societal level, OSA not only leads to reduced economic productivity, but also constitutes a major treatable risk factor for hypertension, coronary artery disease (CAD) and stroke. This article addresses OSA from an epidemiological perspective, from prevalence studies to economic aspects to co-morbidity.

Abstract
Inflammation is a critical contributor to the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders with adipose tissue being crucial in the inflammatory response by releasing multiple adipokines with either pro- or anti-inflammatory activities with potential functions as metabolic regulators. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) have been proposed as representative of the inflammatory status in obesity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the contribution of PBMC to the obesity-associated chronic inflammation analyzing the expression of novel adipokines. Samples obtained from 69 subjects were used in the study. Real-time PCR determinations were performed to quantify gene expression levels in PBMC of novel adipokines including chemerin, chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40), lipocalin-2 (LCN-2) and osteopontin (OPN), and their circulating concentrations were also determined by ELISA. We show, for the first time, that PBMC gene expression levels of chemerin (P < 0.0001), chitinase-3-like protein 1 (P = 0.010), lipocalin-2 (P < 0.0001) and osteopontin (P < 0.0001) were strongly upregulated in obesity independently of the glycemic state. Circulating concentrations of these adipokines followed the same trend being significantly higher (P < 0.05) in obese normoglycemic and type 2 diabetic patients compared to lean volunteers and also associated (P < 0.05) with their corresponding mRNA levels in PBMC. These results provide evidence that alterations in inflammation-related adipokines are manifest in PBMC, which might contribute to the low-grade chronic inflammation that characterizes obesity.

Abstract
Leptin, a peptide hormone produced by adipose tissue, acts in brain centers that control critical physiological functions such as metabolism, breathing and cardiovascular regulation. The importance of leptin for respiratory control is evident by the fact that leptin deficient mice exhibit impaired ventilatory responses to carbon dioxide (CO2), which can be corrected by intracerebroventricular leptin replacement therapy. Leptin is also recognized as an important link between obesity and hypertension. Humans and animal models lacking either leptin or functional leptin receptors exhibit many characteristics of the metabolic syndrome, including hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and visceral adiposity, but do not exhibit increased sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) and have normal to lower blood pressure (BP) compared to lean controls. Even though previous studies have extensively focused on the brain sites and intracellular signaling pathways involved in leptin effects on food intake and energy balance, the mechanisms that mediate the actions of leptin on breathing and cardiovascular function are only beginning to be elucidated. This mini-review summarizes recent advances on the effects of leptin on cardiovascular and respiratory control with emphasis on the neural control of respiratory function and autonomic activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) is highly prevalent in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), it is unknown whether or not subjects with and without T2D share the same sleep breathing pattern. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS A cross-sectional study in patients with SAHS according to the presence (n = 132) or not (n = 264) of T2D. Both groups were matched by age, gender, BMI, and waist and neck circumferences. A subgroup of 125 subjects was also matched by AHI. The exclusion criteria included chronic respiratory disease, alcohol abuse, use of sedatives, and heart failure. A higher apnea hypopnea index (AHI) was observed in T2D patients [32.2 (10.2-114.0) vs. 25.6 (10.2-123.4) events/hours; p = 0.002). When sleep events were evaluated separately, patients with T2D showed a significant increase in apnea events [8.4 (0.1-87.7) vs. 6.3 (0.0-105.6) e/h; p = 0.044), as well as a two-fold increase in the percentage of time spent with oxygen saturation <90% [15.7 (0.0-97.0) vs. 7.9 (0.0-95.6) %; <0.001)], higher rates of oxygen desaturation events, and also higher daily sleepiness [7.0 (0.0-21.0) vs. 5.0 (0.0-21.0); p = 0.006)] than subjects without T2D. Significant positive correlations between fasting plasma glucose and AHI, the apnea events, and CT90 were observed. Finally, multiple linear regression analyses showed that T2D was independently associated with AHI (R2 = 0.217), the apnea index (R2 = 0.194), CT90 (R2 = 0.222), and desaturation events. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE T2D patients present a different pattern of sleep breathing than subject without diabetes. The most important differences are the severity of hypoxemia and the number of apneas whereas the incidence of hypopnea episodes is similar.

Abstract
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome is a respiratory consequence of morbid obesity that is characterized by alveolar hypoventilation during sleep and wakefulness. The disorder involves a complex interaction between impaired respiratory mechanics, ventilatory drive and sleep-disordered breathing. Early diagnosis and treatment is important, because delay in treatment is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Available treatment options include non-invasive positive airway pressure (PAP) therapies and weight loss. There is limited long-term data regarding the effectiveness of such therapies. This review outlines the current concepts of clinical presentation, diagnostic and management strategies to help identify and treat patients with obesity-hypoventilation syndromes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Obesity is associated with increased adipose tissue inflammation as well as with the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Syntaxin 8 (STX8) is a protein required for the transport of endosomes. In this study we analyzed the relationship of STX8 with the presence of T2D in the context of obesity. METHODS With this purpose, 21 subjects (seven lean [LN], eight obese normoglycemic [OB-NG] and six obese with type 2 diabetes [OB-T2D]) were included in the study. Gene and protein expression levels of STX8 and GLUT4 were analyzed in visceral adipose tissue (VAT). RESULTS mRNA (p = 0.008) and protein (p <0.001) expression levels of STX8 were significantly increased in VAT of OB-T2D patients. Moreover, gene expression levels of SLC2A4 (GLUT4) were downregulated (p = 0.002) in VAT of obese patients. We found that STX8 was positively correlated (p <0.05) with fasting glucose concentrations, plasma glucose 2 h after an OGTT and C-reactive protein. Interestingly, the expression of STX8 was negatively correlated (p <0.05) with the expression of SLC2A4 in VAT. CONCLUSIONS Increased STX8 expression in VAT appears to be associated with the presence of T2D in obese patients through a mechanism that may involve GLUT4.

Abstract
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), in particular obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The prevalence of these conditions is rapidly rising mainly due to the worldwide increase in obesity. Obesity contributes to the pathogenesis of SDB in multiple ways including altering upper airway anatomy and collapsibility, ventilatory control and increasing respiratory work load. There is also increasing evidence that OSA itself contributes to the development of obesity. Moreover, both OSA and obesity promote the activation of inflammatory pathways, which is likely a key mechanism in cardiovascular and metabolic disease processes. Early recognition of SDB is important as effective treatments are available. Public health measures to reduce the prevalence of obesity are urgently required to halt the increasing burden of SDB.

Abstract
Aquaglyceroporins and caveolins are submicroscopic integral membrane proteins that are particularly abundant in many mammalian cells. Aquaglyceroporins (AQP3, AQP7, AQP9 and AQP10) encompass a subfamily of aquaporins that allow the movement of water, but also of small solutes, such as glycerol, across cell membranes. Glycerol constitutes an important metabolite as a substrate for de novo synthesis of triacylglycerols and glucose as well as an energy substrate to produce ATP via the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. In this sense, the control of glycerol influx/efflux in metabolic organs by aquaglyceroporins plays a crucial role with the dysregulation of these glycerol channels being associated with metabolic diseases, such as obesity, insulin resistance, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and cardiac hypertrophy. On the other hand, caveolae have emerged as relevant plasma membrane sensors implicated in a wide range of cellular functions, including endocytosis, apoptosis, cholesterol homeostasis, proliferation and signal transduction. Caveolae-coating proteins, namely caveolins and cavins, can act as scaffolding proteins within caveolae by concentrating signaling molecules involved in free fatty acid and cholesterol uptake, proliferation, insulin signaling or vasorelaxation, among others. The importance of caveolae in whole-body homeostasis is highlighted by the link between homozygous mutations in genes encoding caveolins and cavins with metabolic diseases, such as lipodystrophy, dyslipidemia, muscular dystrophy and insulin resistance in rodents and humans. The present review focuses on the role of aquaglyceroporins and caveolins on lipid and glucose metabolism, insulin secretion and signaling, energy production and cardiovascular homeostasis, outlining their potential relevance in the development and treatment of metabolic diseases.

Abstract
In adipocytes the hydrolysis of TAG to produce fatty acids and glycerol under fasting conditions or times of elevated energy demands is tightly regulated by neuroendocrine signals, resulting in the activation of lipolytic enzymes. Among the classic regulators of lipolysis, adrenergic stimulation and the insulin-mediated control of lipid mobilisation are the best known. Initially, hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) was thought to be the rate-limiting enzyme of the first lipolytic step, while we now know that adipocyte TAG lipase is the key enzyme for lipolysis initiation. Pivotal, previously unsuspected components have also been identified at the protective interface of the lipid droplet surface and in the signalling pathways that control lipolysis. Perilipin, comparative gene identification-58 (CGI-58) and other proteins of the lipid droplet surface are currently known to be key regulators of the lipolytic machinery, protecting or exposing the TAG core of the droplet to lipases. The neuroendocrine control of lipolysis is prototypically exerted by catecholaminergic stimulation and insulin-induced suppression, both of which affect cyclic AMP levels and hence the protein kinase A-mediated phosphorylation of HSL and perilipin. Interestingly, in recent decades adipose tissue has been shown to secrete a large number of adipokines, which exert direct effects on lipolysis, while adipocytes reportedly express a wide range of receptors for signals involved in lipid mobilisation. Recently recognised mediators of lipolysis include some adipokines, structural membrane proteins, atrial natriuretic peptides, AMP-activated protein kinase and mitogen-activated protein kinase. Lipolysis needs to be reanalysed from the broader perspective of its specific physiological or pathological context since basal or stimulated lipolytic rates occur under diverse conditions and by different mechanisms.
