Background:Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent in 7.5% in urban Asian Indians.Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma2 (PPARγ2)has been implicated in adipocyte differentiation.Neuropeptide Y (NPY)is also considered as a candidate gene for excess body fat accumulation. The association ofPPARγ2 (Pro12Ala)andNPY (Leu7Pro)gene polymorphisms with OSA has not been studied in Asian Indians.Objective:To study the distribution ofPPARγ2 (Pro12Ala)andNPY (Leu7Pro)polymorphism in Asian Indians with and without OSA.Methods and results:This study was carried out in 252 obese subjects [(body mass index (BMI > 25 kg/m2)]; 142 with OSA and 110 without OSA. Measurements included anthropometric and biochemical parameters (fasting blood glucose, lipid profile, various circumferences and skin-fold thicknesses).PPARγ2 (Pro12Ala) and NPY (Leu7Pro) genepolymorphisms were studied in all subjects. The frequency of the variantallele (Ala12) of PPARγ2 genewas significantly higher in subjects with OSA (14.4%) when compared with subjects without OSA (5.5%; χ2= 9.7;p= 0.001). The distribution of the variantallele (Pro7)ofNPY genewas comparable in subjects with OSA (3.5%) and without OSA (3.6%; χ2= 0.001,p= 0.94).Conclusion:This study reveals a significantly higher frequency ofPPARγ2 (Ala12) allelein obese Asian Indians with OSA when compared to obese Asian Indians without OSA.

Purpose: Evidence suggests that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is related to metabolic syndrome; however, the relationship among metabolic syndrome parameters (blood pressure, fasting blood glucose (FBG), high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL)) and OSA is unclear. Methods: PRISMA guidelines were followed for this study. Medline, Cochrane, EMBASE and Google Scholar databases were searched until December 23, 2015, using following terms: obstructive sleep apnea, sleep apnea, OSA and metabolic syndrome. Results: Ten studies were included in the analysis which included 2053 patients. Patients with OSA had higher systolic blood pressure (SBP) (pooled standard mean difference (SMD) = 0.56, 95% CI, 0.40 to 0.71, P

Background. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was highly prevalent in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Cathepsin S (CTSS), a cysteine protease, is involved in the inflammatory activity in T2D and hypoxia conditions. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether CTSS could be involved in the inflammatory reaction of OSA in patients with T2D. Methods. We included 158 participants in this study matched for age, gender, and body mass index in 4 groups (control, non-OSA&T2D, OSA&non-T2D, and OSA&T2D). After overnight polysomnography, we collected the clinical data including anthropometrical characteristics, blood pressure, and fasting blood samples in the morning. Plasma CTSS concentration was evaluated using the human Magnetic Luminex Assay. Results. Compared with the control group, both the non-OSA&T2D group and the OSA&non-T2D group showed higher CTSS levels. Plasma CTSS expression was significantly increased in subjects with OSA&T2D compared to subjects with non-OSA&T2D. The OSA&T2D group had higher CTSS levels than the OSA&non-T2D group, but there were no statistically significant differences. Plasma CTSS levels showed significant correlation with the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) (r=0.559, P<0.001) and plasma fasting blood glucose (r=0.427, P<0.001). After adjusting confounding factors, plasma CTSS levels were independently associated with the AHI (Beta: 0.386, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 21.988 to 57.781; P<0.001). Furthermore, we confirmed the higher pinpoint accuracy of plasma CTSS in the diagnosis of OSA (area under the curve: 0.868). Conclusions. Plasma CTSS expression was significantly elevated in the OSA&T2D group and was independently associated with the AHI; it could be a biomarker with a positive diagnostic value on diagnosing OSA among patients with T2D.
