Plasma levels of retinoids, carotenoids and tocopherols in patients with mild obstructive sleep apnoea

Abstract: Background and objective-OSA is associated with increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Pathogenic mechanisms of vascular diseases include thickened vascular walls due to the increased number of smooth muscle cells (SMC). Retinoic acid (RA) suppresses the growth of SMC, and reduced retinoid levels are associated with vascular diseases. Oxidant signalling promotes SMC growth, thus antioxidant levels may also influence the development of cardiovascular diseases. The present study tested the hypothesis th… Show more

“…In contrast, this association was found specifically for obstructive sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome in two previous studies [21] , [22] . In contrast to our findings, Day and colleagues [20] found that patients with obstructive lung apnea, as compared to controls, had lower serum levels of retinyl palmitate and 9-cis retinoic acid, as well as lower levels of all-trans-β-carotene and 9-cis-β-carotene. Moreover, low serum folate has been associated with restless leg syndrome among pregnant women [23] .…”

Despite this trend, and the known association between sleep and cognitive as well as affective disorders [15] , [16] , [17] , limited epidemiological research has explored how sleep quantity and quality may be related to serum nutritional biomarkers [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] .…”

“… 63 Patients with mild OSA exhibit altered levels of specific retinoids, carotenoids, and tocopherols, which may be markers and/or mediators of increased susceptibility to vascular disease. 64 Circulating carbon monoxide levels are enable assessment of the clinical severity of OSA. 65 …”

“…Day et al. 47 questioned whether levels of retinoids, carotenoids and tocopherols, some of which have been shown to regulate growth of vascular smooth muscle cells, were altered in otherwise healthy patients with mostly mild OSA. The authors obtained plasma samples from patients with mild OSA without known cardiovascular disease and from control subjects.…”

“…13 Several mechanisms have been proposed including repeated episodes of hypoxia/reoxygenation (intermittent hypoxia), hypercapnia, inflammation and changes in intrathoracic pressure. Day et al 47 questioned whether levels of retinoids, carotenoids and tocopherols, some of which have been shown to regulate growth of vascular smooth muscle cells, were altered in otherwise healthy patients with mostly mild OSA.
