Abstract
Over the past few years, there has been a surge in interest regarding the connection between sleep duration and quality, sleep disorders, mainly Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and Vitamin D. There is growing evidence to support a new role of Vitamin D in the maintenance and regulation of optimal sleep. Furthermore, a notable link has been identified between OSA and a decrease in serum Vitamin D levels, which appears to intensify as the severity of sleep apnea worsens. Vitamin D status could also potentially serve as a mediator or provide an explanation for the association between OSA and cardiometabolic morbidity, but the current state of research in this area is inadequate. Studies have indicated that the supplementation of Vitamin D can optimize sleep quality, presenting more proof of the connection between insufficient vitamin D levels and sleep disorders. However, it is unclear whether low serum Vitamin D levels are a contributing factor to OSA development or if OSA predisposes individuals to Vitamin D deficiency. As a result, various studies have endeavored to examine the complex relationship between OSA and Vitamin D deficiency. In children and adolescents, while data is limited, there seems also to be a link between sleep disorders and Vitamin D levels. Therefore, the objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current evidence on the association between Vitamin D and sleep disorders in both adults and children.

Abstract
PURPOSE : Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic, sleep-related breathing disorder which leads to increased cardiovascular risks. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with various cardiometabolic complications, including increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We aimed to analyze the difference in serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) level, prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency, and the effect of CPAP treatment on serum 25-OHD levels among adult patients with OSA. METHODS We pooled data from 18 observational studies involving 5592 individuals. Baseline parameters that might have contributed to the significant differences observed were also analyzed. RESULTS Patients with OSA had significantly lower serum 25-OHD levels (pooled d + - 0.74 [95% CI: - 1.19 to - 0.28], p < 0.01) and higher prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (pooled log (odds ratio) 0.98 [95% CI: 0.30 to 1.67], p < 0.01) compared to those without OSA. Subgroup analysis demonstrated that these differences were significant only in moderate OSA and severe OSA. Neither age nor BMI nor geographical latitude contributed significantly to the differences observed in serum 25-OHD levels. The use of CPAP did not lead to significant changes in serum 25-OHD levels. CONCLUSION Patients with OSA have lower serum 25-OHD levels with a higher prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, regardless of age or BMI, pointing to an independent association between vitamin D and OSA.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) frequently coexist. Low serum vitamin D has been positively associated with OSA presence and severity; however, data on its link to cardiometabolic features in patients with OSA remain scarce. We aimed to assess serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and explore its association with cardiometabolic parameters in OSA. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study among 262 patients (49 ± 9 years old, 73% men) with polysomnography-diagnosed OSA. Participants were evaluated in terms of anthropometric indices, lifestyle habits, blood pressure, biochemical, plasma inflammatory and urinary oxidative stress markers, and the presence of MetS. Serum 25(OH)D was assessed by chemiluminescence, and vitamin D deficiency (VDD) was defined as 25(OH)D < 20 ng/mL. RESULTS Median (1st, 3rd quartile) serum 25(OH)D levels were 17.7 (13.4, 22.9) ng/mL and 63% of participants had VDD. Serum 25(OH)D correlated negatively with body mass index (BMI), homeostasis model of assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and urinary oxidized guanine species (oxG), and positively with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (all P < 0.050). In logistic regression analysis, serum 25(OH)D was associated with lower odds of MetS [odds ratio (95% confidence interval): 0.94 (0.90-0.98)], after adjustment for age, sex, season of blood sampling, Mediterranean diet score, physical activity, smoking, apnea-hypopnea index, HOMA-IR, hsCRP, and oxG. In the same multivariate model, VDD was associated with ~ twofold greater odds of MetS [2.39 (1.15, 4.97)]. CONCLUSION VDD is highly prevalent and is associated with a detrimental cardiometabolic profile among patients with OSA.

Abstract
Sleep is extremely important for the homeostasis of the organism. In recent years, various studies have been carried out to address factors related to sleep patterns and their influence on food choices, as well as on the onset of chronic noncommunicable diseases. The aim of this article is to provide a scientific literature review on the possible role of sleep patterns on eating behavior and the risk of noncommunicable diseases. A search was performed on Medline (PubMed interface) using several keywords (e.g., "Factors Influencing Sleep" OR "Sleep and Chronic Diseases"). Articles published between 2000 and the present date that relate sleep to cyclic metabolic processes and changes in eating behavior were selected. Changes in sleep patterns are increasingly detected today, and these modifications are mainly caused by work and lifestyle conditions as well as a growing dependence on electronic devices. Sleep deprivation and the resultant short sleep duration lead to an increased appetite via an increase in the hunger hormone (ghrelin) and a decrease in the satiety hormone (leptin). Nowadays, sleep is undervalued, and thus often impaired, with consequences for the performance of various body systems. Sleep deprivation alters physiological homeostasis and influences eating behavior as well as the onset of chronic diseases.

Abstract
Sleep plays an important function in neuro-immuno-endocrine homeostasis. Sleep disorders have been associated with an increased risk of metabolic and cognitive impairments. Among different factors that have an effect on sleep metabolism, a growing body of literature has investigated growth factors in the course of sleep quality and disorders. A good example of growth factors is fibroblast growth factors (FGFs), which are a large family of polypeptide growth factors. Evidence has shown that FGFs are involved in the modulation of sleep-wake behavior by their receptor subtypes and ligands, e.g., FFG1 plays an important role in the quality of sleep through somnogenic effects, while the high level of FGF23 is associated with secondary disorders in shift workers. Therefore, a controversial effect of FGFs can be seen in the course of sleep in physiologic and pathologic conditions. Further investigation on this topic would help us to understand the role of FGFs in sleep disorders as a therapeutic option and biomarker.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between vitamin D status and gestational cardiovascular health (CVH) is inconsistent in previous studies. Emerging evidence shows that sleep behaviors are related to vitamin D metabolism. However, no studies evaluate the interaction of vitamin D and sleep behaviors on gestational CVH. OBJECTIVE We aimed to estimate the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations and gestational CVH, and whether the relationship was modified by sleep behaviors. METHODS The data of this study was from a multicenter birth cohort study. A total of 9,209 pregnant women at 16-23 weeks of gestation were included. 25(OH)D concentrations were measured from collected blood. Sleep patterns consisted of major sleep behaviors including duration, chronotype, insomnia, snoring, and excessive daytime sleepiness. Data on poor CVH was based on four "clinical" CVH metrics, including body mass index, blood pressure, total cholesterol, and glucose levels. RESULTS The proportion of women with poor CVH was 25.0%. The relative risk (RR) (95%CI) of poor CVH was 0.67 (0.58-0.76) in women with 25(OH)D ≥ 50 nmol/L after multivariate adjustments. Lower 25(OH)D concentrations were significantly associated with poor CVH. Such association was also evident in subgroups analysis. We found a significant interaction of 25(OH)D (P for interaction = 0.01) with sleep patterns on the risk of poor CVH. A negative dose-response relation was observed between 25(OH)D concentrations and poor CVH risk in healthy or intermediate sleep, not poor sleep. 25(OH)D concentrations were lower and the risk of poor CVH was higher in pregnant women with poor sleep patterns (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Our study suggests that sleep patterns modify the association of 25(OH)D concentrations with the CVH among pregnant women.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is associated with cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities, including hypertension, dyslipidaemia, insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. Strong evidence suggests that OSA is associated with an altered lipid profile including elevated levels of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and decreased levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Intermittent hypoxia; sleep fragmentation; and consequential surges in the sympathetic activity, enhanced oxidative stress and systemic inflammation are the postulated mechanisms leading to metabolic alterations in OSA. Although the exact mechanisms of OSA-associated dyslipidaemia have not been fully elucidated, three main points have been found to be impaired: activated lipolysis in the adipose tissue, decreased lipid clearance from the circulation and accelerated de novo lipid synthesis. This is further complicated by the oxidisation of atherogenic lipoproteins, adipose tissue dysfunction, hormonal changes, and the reduced function of HDL particles in OSA. In this comprehensive review, we summarise and critically evaluate the current evidence about the possible mechanisms involved in OSA-associated dyslipidaemia.

Abstract
Aims/Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is related to prediabetes and diabetes. Whether patients with OSA have a higher risk of prediabetes/diabetes remains unclear. We aimed to carry out a meta‐analysis of published studies to evaluate the relationships between OSA and prediabetes and diabetes, and the impact of the severity of OSA on diabetes. Materials and Methods The PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases were searched from January 2011 to July 2021. The associations between OSA and impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance, impaired glucose regulation and diabetes mellitus were analyzed. We estimated the pooled odds ratios using fixed or random effects models. We included 25 studies comprising a total of 154,948 patients with OSA and risk factors for prediabetes/diabetes (20 and 16, respectively) in the analysis. Results OSA was associated with a higher risk of impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance, impaired glucose regulation and diabetes mellitus in the cohort studies and cross‐sectional studies. The pooled odds ratios were 2.34 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.16–4.72), 1.58 (95% CI 1.15–2.15), 1.65 (95% CI 1.12–2.42), 2.15 (95% CI 1.68–2.75) and 3.62 (95% CI 2.75–4.75), respectively. Subgroup analyses were based on the proportions of men and women. The results showed that OSA was a risk factor, and there was no significant difference between the two groups. The risk of diabetes increased with the severity of OSA. Conclusions The risk of developing prediabetes and diabetes was higher in patients with OSA.

Abstract
Objectives Our aim in this study is to reveal the role of vitamin D deficiency in the pathogenesis of recurrent/chronic tonsillitis and to determine the expression of vascular epithelial growth factor (VEGF). Material and Methods This study was conducted between September and February. Thirty‐two patients between the ages of 3 and 35 (mean age 9.71) with recurrent episodes of chronic tonsillitis were selected. Patients were divided into four groups according to their 25OHD levels. Patients with 25OHD levels 0–10 ng/ml were determined as Group 1, 11–20 ng/ml Group 2, 21–30 ng/ml Group 3, and 31–50 ng/ml control Group 4. Routine histological tissue sampling was performed for histopathological evaluation of the tonsillar tissues under light microscope (LM). Five micron sections were taken from the paraffin blocks and stained with Hematoxylin Eosin (HE) and Trichrome Masson (TCM). VEGF expression was examined immunohistochemically for each group. Results Our analysis showed VEGF expression in all study groups (32 tonsillar tissues). Group 1 and Group 2 histopathological scores were significantly higher than the other groups (p < .001). There were significant differences in VEGF expressions between the four groups (p < .001). 25OHD levels of the patients in Groups 1 and 2 with strong VEGF expression were significantly lower than the other groups (p < .001). Conclusions In conclusion, this study showed an increased angiogenesis in tonsil and an increase in VEGF expression of the tonsillar surface epithelium when blood serum 25OHD levels <20 ng/ml.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Obstructive sleep apnea and short sleep duration have been separately associated with inadequate serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels. However, whether these 2 factors may concurrently influence 25(OH)D in the general population is unknown. We hypothesized that both obstructive sleep apnea and short sleep duration would be independently associated with lower concentrations of 25(OH)D in a sex-dependent manner. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 712 individuals, part of the prospective EPISONO cohort (Brazil), underwent polysomnography, answered sleep questionnaires, and had their blood collected for serum 25(OH)D quantification. RESULTS Individuals with a sleep duration of < 6 hours had 2-fold increased odds of 25(OH)D < 20 ng/mL compared with those who reported 6 or more hours of sleep, even after adjusting for confounding factors. Subset sex analysis revealed that men with a sleep duration of < 6 hours had 4-fold increased odds of 25(OH)D < 20 ng/mL. In women, short sleep duration was not associated with lower 25(OH)D levels. The presence of obstructive sleep apnea (as classified according to the individual's apnea-hypopnea index) was not independently related to 25(OH)D concentrations in men or women. Sleep parameters, including sleep latency and sleep efficiency, had no association with 25(OH)D < 20 ng/mL. CONCLUSIONS Short sleep, but not apnea-hypopnea index, was an independent factor associated with low 25(OH)D serum levels in men, but not in women. Apnea-hypopnea index scores were not associated with 25(OH)D levels in either sex. These results raise the possibility of investigating sex-specific characteristics, such as gonadal hormone regulation, and re-evaluating obstructive events by classifying them in mild, moderate, and severe obstructive sleep apnea.

Front Neurol 2021; 12:682739. [PMID: 34764923 PMCID: PMC8577206 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2021.682739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2021] [Accepted: 07/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops during sleep. Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and OSA are linked with an increased risk of oxidative stress and inflammation. The possible link between LTL and OSA in Asian Indians has not been evaluated. Thus, the present study aims to compare the link between LTL and OSA in Asian Indians. Methods: In this study, 300 subjects (120 obese with OSA, 110 obese without OSA, and 70 non-obese without OSA) were included after overnight polysomnography and a fasting blood sample. Clinical, anthropometry, metabolic markers, insulin, 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH) D], and parathyroid hormones (PTH) levels were investigated. LTL was investigated by a QPCR. Univariate and stepwise multivariate linear regression analyses adjusting for age, gender, BMI, and % body fat were conducted while treating LTL as a dependent variable in relation to AHI and other covariates. Results: Obese subjects with OSA had significantly decreased 25(OH)D and increased PTH levels. The mean telomere length (T/S) ratio was significantly shorter in patients with OSA. The adjusted correlation analysis showed that shortening of telomere length correlated with increasing age, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), oxygen desaturation index, and RDI. Univariate analysis showed that LTL revealed a trend toward a negative correlation with a mean age (β + SE, −0.015 + 0.0006; p = 0.01) and positive correlation with AHI [β +slandered error (SE), 0.042 + 0.017; p = 0.008]. In the multiple regression analysis, LTL was positively associated with AHI (β + SE, 0.281 + 0.04; p = 0.001) after adjusting for age, sex, BMI, and % body fat. Even when adjusted for confounding factors, 25(OH)D, and PTH levels, LTL still was related to AHI (β + SE, 0.446 + 0.02; p = 0.05). Conclusion: Our study indicates the presence of an association between LTL and OSA and a significant impact of OSA severity and telomeres shortening in Asian Indians.

Abstract
Background: The interaction of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) with metabolic syndrome (MetS) is known as syndrome Z. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of serum vitamin D levels with severity of OSAS in patients with Syndrome Z. Methods: In this retrospective study, 270 patients with MetS and OSAS were included. Demographic data, lifestyle habits, anthropometric measurements, sleep characteristics, polysomnographic indices, and laboratory results were recorded from the patient files. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the associations of serum 25(OH)D3 levels with OSAS. Results: Of the 270 patients, 71.9% were female. The mean age was 46.86 ± 8.46 (33-72) years. Of the participants, 8.2% did not have OSAS (control group), while 30.4% had mild, 28.1% had moderate, and 33.3% had severe OSAS. There were significant differences in gender, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist/hip ratio, neck circumference, body mass index, apnea-hypopnea index, total sleep time, average SpO2 and Epworth sleepiness scale score, oxygen desaturation index, blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and 25(OH)D3 levels. There was a significant difference in serum 25(OH)D3 level with increasing severities of OSAS (none+mild to moderate+severe OSAS). After adjusting for potential confounding factors in multivariable logistic regression analyses, we found that serum 25(OH)D3 level was significantly associated with the severity of OSAS. Conclusions: Serum 25(OH)D3 level was significantly associated with the severity of OSAS in patients with Syndrome Z. Therefore, patients with MetS and OSAS should be investigated for the presence of vitamin D insufficiency and, if observed, referred for vitamin D treatment.

Study on the Improvement of Behavioral and Cognitive Dysfunction of Children with OSAHS by Vitamin D. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:5536689. [PMID: 34055979 PMCID: PMC8123987 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5536689] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2021] [Revised: 04/10/2021] [Accepted: 04/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Objective This study is aimed at exploring the role of vitamin D in the treatment of children with OSAHS by comparing the clinical symptoms, serum indicators, and behavioral changes of vitamin D intervention. Method Healthy children who were examined physically in Rizhao People's Hospital were selected as the control group, and their sex, age, triglyceride, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, serum 25-OHD levels, and Conners' parental scale were measured. In addition, children diagnosed as OSAHS in the otolaryngology department of Rizhao People's Hospital were selected as experimental subjects. Their body mass index, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, serum 25-OHD levels, sleep apnea hypopnea index, minimum oxygen saturation, and Conners' parental scale were measured. The experimental subjects were treated with Rocaltrol intervention therapy (0.25 g/QD) for 4 weeks and reanalyzing their triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, serum 25-OHD levels, sleep apnea hypopnea index, minimum oxygen saturation, and Conners' parental scale. Result OSAHS children commonly have the situation of obesity, dyslipidemia, and vitamin D deficiency. Behavioral and cognitive dysfunction is common in OSAHS children. There were no significant changes in body mass index, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, sleep apnea, hypopnea index, and minimum oxygen saturation for OSAHS children after vitamin D treatment, but the serum 25-OHD level is significantly improved, and children with conduct problems, learning problems, and hyperactivity index decrease. Conclusion (1) OSAHS children commonly have the situation of obesity, dyslipidemia, vitamin D deficiency, and behavioral and cognitive impairment. (2) Vitamin D supplementation has no therapeutic effect on obesity and dyslipidemia of OSAHS children, but has obvious protective and improving effects on neuron damage caused by hypoxia. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a common disease. Patients with OSAHS usually have many clinical features, such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease. The decline of cognitive function and learning ability is one of the serious complications of OSAHS patients [1]. Vitamin D (VitD) deficiency is associated with many diseases. Recent studies have shown that the serum 25-OHD level of OSAHS patients is relatively insufficient and related to the disease severity. However, there are few reports on explaining whether vitamin D supplementation can alleviate the clinical symptoms and improve serum indicators and behavioral and cognitive dysfunction in children with OSAHS.

[PMID: 33916750 PMCID: PMC8038392 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10071494] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2021] [Revised: 03/25/2021] [Accepted: 03/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Intermittent hypoxia in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is related to inflammation and metabolic abnormalities. Soluble low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (sLRP-1) is involved in anti-inflammatory and metabolic processes. However, its ligand, calreticulin (CALR) promotes pro-inflammatory responses and apoptosis. Our aim was to analyse the levels of these biomarkers in OSA. We recruited 46 patients with OSA and 30 control subjects. Inpatient sleep study was performed and fasting plasma samples were collected. Triglyceride glucose index (TyG) and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) were calculated. Plasma sLRP-1 levels were significantly lower in the OSA group compared to the controls (1.67 (0.90–2.11) mg/L vs. 1.99 (1.53–3.51) mg/L; p = 0.04) after adjustment for age, gender, BMI and lipid profile. Plasma sLRP-1 concentrations were inversely related to age (r = −0.29), BMI (r = −0.35), cigarette pack years (r = −0.31), LDL-C (r = −0.34) and triglyceride levels (r = −0.27), TyG (r = −0.37) and AIP (r = −0.27) as well as to the oxygen desaturation index (ODI, r = −0.24; all p < 0.05). BMI (p = 0.01) and ODI (p = 0.04) were independent predictors for low sLRP-1 levels. CALR did not differ significantly between the two groups (0.23 (0.17–0.34) ng/mL vs. 0.24 (0.20–0.36) ng/mL p = 0.76). We detected lower sLRP-1 levels in subjects with OSA which could contribute to metabolic abnormalities associated with this disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective was to determine whether OSA patients have a low serum vitamin D level by systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS This study searched the following electronic bibliographic databases: Embase, Medline, Web of Science, PubMed, VIP, Wanfang, CNKI and SinoMed. All data were searched between January 2000 and August 2020. The quality of the included studies was estimated by two researchers according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. All qualified studies and statistical analyses were conducted using RevMan 5.2. RESULTS Twenty-nine eligible studies compromising 6717 participants met the inclusion criteria of the meta-analysis. The results revealed that the serum 25(OH)D level was significantly lower in OSA patients than the controls. According to the severity of the disease, subgroup analysis was performed; the results demonstrated that the serum 25(OH)D level was not decreased in mild OSA patients compared with the controls, while the serum 25(OH)D level in moderate and severe OSA patients was lower than that in the controls. Furthermore, based on ethnicity, BMI, PSG type, study quality and latitude, the subjects were divided into different subgroups for meta-analysis. The results revealed that the serum 25(OH)D level in all OSA subgroups was decreased compared with that in the control group. CONCLUSIONS The present meta-analysis shows that the serum vitamin D level was different between OSA patients and healthy people. OSA patients could have a low serum vitamin D level.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Circulating vitamin D concentrations have been associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), but the results are inconsistent. Emerging evidence suggests that vitamin D metabolism is linked to sleep behaviors. We investigated the prospective association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) and the risk of incident T2D and whether such association was modified by sleep behaviors. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The study included 350,211 individuals free of diabetes in the UK Biobank. Serum 25OHD (nmol/L) concentrations were measured. Five sleep behaviors including sleep duration, insomnia, snoring, chronotype, and daytime sleepiness were included to generate overall sleep patterns, defined by healthy sleep scores. We also calculated genetic risk scores of sleep patterns. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 8.1 years, we documented 6,940 case subjects with incident T2D. We found that serum 25OHD was significantly associated with a lower risk of incident T2D, and the multivariate adjusted hazard ratio (HR) (95% CI) per 10 nmol/L increase was 0.88 (0.87-0.90). We found a significant interaction between 25OHD and overall sleep patterns on the risk of incident T2D (P for interaction = 0.002). The inverse association between high 25OHD and T2D was more prominent among participants with healthier sleep patterns. Among the individual sleep behaviors, daytime sleepiness showed the strongest interaction with 25OHD (P for interaction = 0.0006). The reduced HR of T2D associated with high 25OHD appeared to be more evident among participants with no frequent daytime sleepiness compared with those with excessive daytime sleepiness. The genetic variations of the sleep patterns did not modify the relation between 25OHD and T2D. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicates that higher serum 25OHD concentrations are associated with a lower risk of incident T2D, and such relations are modified by overall sleep patterns, with daytime sleepiness being the major contributor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep disorders, one of the most common problems in the general population, have been related to a series of harmful health consequences. Vitamin D appears to be associated with sleep disorders. However, the difference in vitamin D levels between sleep disorder subjects and people without a sleep disorder is unclear. Simultaneously, the influence of vitamin D replenishment on sleep disorders remains controversial. METHODS PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched for literatures published until October 2019. Using a random effects model, a meta-analysis was conducted to calculate the standard mean difference to evaluate the difference in vitamin D concentrations between sleep disorder subjects and normal people and the efficacy of vitamin D supplementation on sleep disorders. RESULTS Our study found that the serum vitamin D levels in the sleep disorder subjects were lower than that in the normal people (SMD = -0.75 ng/ml, 95% CI = -0.93, -0.57 ng/ml). Moreover, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)in the subjects with vitamin D supplementation was lower than that in the controls (SMD = -0.45, 95% CI = -0.76, -0.13). CONCLUSIONS Vitamin D could play a promising role in sleep disorders. More data are required to confirm the efficacy of vitamin D supplementation for improving sleep disorders.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) have been found to exhibit lower serum vitamin D levels, even when the control groups are matched for confounding conditions. However, contradictory studies are also present. This study aimed to compare serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels between adult patients with OSAS and non-apneic controls and to evaluate the changes in 25(OH)D levels after 3 and 12 months of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. METHODS The study was comprised of 30 patients with OSAS and 30 controls. Serum 25(OH)D levels were determined at baseline and after 3 and 12 months of CPAP therapy in all patients with OSAS. For analysis, patients with OSAS were divided into subgroups by adherence, with adherence defined as CPAP usage for > 4 h per night on at least 70% of nights. RESULTS The 25(OH)D levels were not significantly different between OSAS and control groups at baseline. 25(OH)D levels did not change after 3 and 12 months of CPAP therapy. Patients who were CPAP-adherent showed less reduction in 25(OH)D levels compared with non-adherent ones (21.18 ± 9.3 vs. 12.13 ± 3.8 ng/mL, p = 0.022) after 1 year. The 25(OH)D levels were significantly correlated with higher daily CPAP usage at 3 and 12 months. Mean daily CPAP usage was a significant predictor of serum 25(OH)D levels at 12 months. CONCLUSIONS Patients with OSAS who demonstrated good CPAP adherence showed significantly higher 25(OH)D levels after 1 year compared with those not adequately using CPAP. Long-term good CPAP adherence and highly daily CPAP usage positively affected 25(OH)D levels in patients with OSAS.

Abstract
The aim of the present study is to summarize the information available, to time, regarding the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and vitamin-D (vD) levels. Moreover, the association between vD deficiency and OSA severity will also be examined. At the end of the present study the possible advantageous effect of CPAP on vD-levels will be summarized. Extensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, The Cochrane Library and Embase database. 13 articles were found concerning OSA and vD, of which 2 articles included treatment with a CPAP. Patients with OSA exhibit low levels of vD in the blood serum, and women present an even lower mean value than men. Lack of VD in blood serum seems to be related to the severity of the OSA syndrome, and to the short duration of sleep. OSA patients with concurrent metabolic syndrome exhibit lower serum vD-levels, as compared with those without metabolic syndrome. Long-term continuous positive airway pressure treatment (CPAP) treatment can increase vD-levels in male OSA patients while no change is observed in women. OSA patients demonstrate lower levels of vD in multiple studies. The severity of the OSA may be associated with vD-levels and deficiency, however more studies are needed to assess that relationship due to contradictions in current bibliography. CPAP can increase vD-levels in male patients. The relation between vD and OSA and/or CPAP is important but recent; therefore further research is needed about the exact relationship to be clarified. Also, the effect of gender hormones on vD regulation in OSA patients should be further investigated.

Vitamin D deficiency in patients evaluated for obstructive sleep apnea: is it associated with disease severity? Sleep Breath 2020; 25:1109-1117. [PMID: 32648186 DOI: 10.1007/s11325-020-02142-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2019] [Revised: 06/25/2020] [Accepted: 07/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to assess vitamin D levels in a large cohort of OSA patients and to investigate possible correlations with clinical and polysomnographic parameters. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 685 consecutive patients underwent type 1 polysomnography (PSG) for OSA diagnosis. They were grouped according to apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) as mild, moderate, and severe. Patients with AHI < 5 served as controls. Demographic, PSG data, and serum levels of vitamin D were measured and compared between groups. RESULTS OSA was diagnosed in 617 of the patients (90%). Of those, 94 (15%) had mild OSA, 150 (24%) moderate OSA, and 373 (61%) severe OSA. The risk of vitamin D deficiency (< 20 ng/mL) was observed in 38% of the cohort. OSA patients had lower vitamin D levels compared to controls (23 ng/mL vs 26 ng/mL, p = 0.006). The lowest levels of vitamin D [mean 21] (p < 0.001 among all groups) and the higher prevalence for vitamin D deficiency (45%) were observed in severe OSA patients. After multiparametric adjustments for age, gender, obesity, and comorbidities, severe OSA showed significant independent associations with the risk of vitamin D deficiency [OR (95% CI) 2.002 (1.049-3.819), p = 0.035]. CONCLUSIONS A large proportion of patients referred for OSA evaluation had vitamin D deficiency, which was independently associated with severe OSA. However, further research is needed in order to determine the role of vitamin D in OSA patients.

Abstract
Environmental studies, metabolic research, and state of the art research in neurobiology point towards the reduced amount of natural day and sunlight exposure of the developing child, as a consequence of increasingly long hours spent indoors online, as the single unifying source of a whole set of health risks identified worldwide, as is made clear in this review of currently available literature. Over exposure to digital environments, from abuse to addiction, now concerns even the youngest (ages 0 to 2) and triggers, as argued on the basis of clear examples herein, a chain of interdependent negative and potentially long-term metabolic changes. This leads to a deregulation of the serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitter pathways in the developing brain, currently associated with online activity abuse and/or internet addiction, and akin to that found in severe substance abuse syndromes. A general functional working model is proposed under the light of evidence brought to the forefront in this review.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the association of serum vitamin-D levels with the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS A cross-sectional study of 136 patients with T2DM who underwent overnight polysomnography (PSG) tests and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin-D3 (25(OH)D3) level detections was conducted. Multivariable linear regression and logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the associations of serum 25(OH)D3 levels with apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). RESULTS The prevalence rates of OSA were 84.4% for male and 65.2% for female patients, respectively (p = 0.011). With increasing severities of OSA categories (none, mild, moderate and severe), patients were more likely to be male and obese, but there was no significant difference in serum 25(OH)D3 level ((mean ± standard deviation) 21.8 ± 8.8, 27.7 ± 14.6, 24.2 ± 9.8 and 26.8 ± 6.2 ng/mL, respectively, p=0.086). Serum 25(OH)D3 level was not significantly correlated with AHI (log-transformed), with the correlation coefficient of 0.133 (p=0.124). With adjustment for potential confounding factors, multivariable linear regression and logistic regression analyses showed that serum 25(OH)D3 level was not significantly associated with either AHI (log-transformed) or the risk of OSA, with the standardized regression coefficient (95% confidence interval (CI)) of 0.098 (-0.004-0.014, p=0.252) and the adjusted odds ratio (95% CI) of 1.055 (0.991-1.124, p=0.095), respectively. CONCLUSION Serum 25(OH)D3 level was not significantly associated with either AHI or the risk of OSA in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
Obesity is a major risk factor for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), the most common sleep-disordered breathing related to neurocognitive and metabolic syndromes, type II diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Although strongly recommended for this condition, there are no studies on the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary weight loss and lifestyle intervention including nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene, and smoking and alcohol cessation. INTERAPNEA is a randomised controlled trial with a two-arm parallel design aimed at determining the effects of an interdisciplinary tailored weight loss and lifestyle intervention on OSA outcomes. The study will include 84 males aged 18–65 with a body mass index of ≥25 kg/m2 and severe to moderate OSA randomly assigned to usual care (i.e., continuous positive airway pressure), or interdisciplinary weight loss and lifestyle intervention combined with usual care. Outcomes will be measured at baseline, intervention end-point, and six-month post-intervention, including apnoea-hypopnoea index (primary outcome), other neurophysical and cardiorespiratory polysomnographic outcomes, sleep quality, daily functioning and mood, body weight and composition, physical fitness, blood biomarkers, health-related quality of life, and cost-effectiveness. INTERAPNEA may serve to establish a cost-effective treatment not only for the improvement of OSA and its vast and severe comorbidities, but also for a potential remission of this condition.

Abstract
Background and objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors, such as insulin resistance. Furthermore, OSAS has been associated with decreased levels of vitamin D (Vit D). The aim of the study was to assess the association between Vit D levels (expressed as 25(OH)D serum levels) and insulin resistance in patients with OSAS. Materials and Methods: Serum 25(OH)D levels were measured in consecutive subjects who had undergone polysomnography and pulmonary function testing. OSAS patients were divided into those with (homeostatic model assessment [HOMA-IR] ≥ 2) and without insulin resistance (HOMA-IR < 2). Results: Overall, 92 patients (81 males) were included in the study. OSAS patients with insulin resistance significantly differed from those without insulin resistance in terms of the body-mass index (BMI) (36.3 ± 5.8 compared to 32 ± 5.6 kg/m2, respectively, p = 0.001), apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) (57.4 ± 28.9 compared to 40.9 ± 27.9 events/h, respectively, p = 0.009) and indices of hypoxia during sleep. Patients with OSAS and insulin resistance had lower levels of serum 25 (OH) D compared with OSAS but without insulin resistance (19.3 ± 11.5 vs 26.7 ± 12.2 ng/mL, respectively, p = 0.005). Regression analysis demonstrated a negative association of 25(OH)D levels (β = −0.048, odds ratio [OR]: 0.953, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.913–0.995, p = 0.030) and a positive association of BMI (β = 0.110, OR: 1.116, 95% CI: 1.007–1.237, p = 0.036) with insulin resistance. Conclusions: Vit D insufficiency was significantly more frequent among OSAS patients with insulin resistance. Both low 25(OH)D levels and high BMI were associated with the risk of insulin resistance in this population.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between bone mineral density (BMD) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH) D] levels in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). This study was designed as a cross-sectional and observational study. Patients who underwent polysomnography evaluation were classified as normal, mild, moderate, severe, or position-dependent OSAS, and OSAS + obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS). BMD was measured with the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry method at the femur and lumbar spine. The chemiluminescence microparticle immunoassay was used for the measurement of 25(OH) D levels. A total of 126 patients (73 males, 53 females) with a mean age of 48.55 ± 11.8 years were included. Body mass index was significantly higher in the OSAS + OHS group than in the other groups (p < 0.01). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of total BMD, T-scores and Z-scores of the lumbar spine, femural neck, and total femur (p > 0.05 for all). Post hoc analyses showed that OSAS + OHS subgroup had lower level of 25(OH) D compared to the normal subjects (p = 0.006). Yet no significant difference was observed between the other OSAS groups. No significant correlation was observed between the apnea hypopnea index, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores, desaturation index, and BMD parameters (all for p > 0.05). While 25(OH) D levels were lower in OSAS + OHS patients, there was no statistically significant relationship between OSAS and BMD values.

Abstract
Preclinical data suggest that hypoxia stimulates fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) transcription and cleavage in osteocytes, resulting in elevated circulating c-terminal (cFGF23) levels but normal intact FGF23 (iFGF23) levels. We conducted a case-control study within the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos to investigate whether sleep disordered breathing, as a model of hypoxemia, is independently associated with elevated cFGF23 levels in the general population and with elevated cFGF23 and iFGF23 levels in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), in whom FGF23 cleavage may be impaired. Cases (n = 602) had severe sleep disordered breathing defined as an apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) of ≥30. Controls without severe sleep disordered breathing (n = 602) were matched for sex and CKD stage. The median AHI in the cases was 45.8 (IQR 35.5-62.5) compared to 2.6 (IQR 0.6-8.2) in the controls. Cases had higher cFGF23 levels than controls (66.2 RU/mL, IQR 52.8-98.4 vs. 61.2 RU/mL, IQR 49.5-80.1, p value <0.001). There were no differences in iFGF23 levels between cases and controls. In adjusted linear regression and multinomial regression analyses, body mass index attenuated the relationship between severe sleep disordered breathing and cFGF23 levels. No significant relationships were seen in analyses of severe sleep disordered breathing and iFGF23 levels or in analyses of iFGF23 and cFGF23 stratified by CKD status. Additional studies using other models of intermittent and chronic hypoxia are needed to confirm whether hypoxia stimulates FGF23 transcription in humans and to determine the impact on iFGF23 levels in CKD.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is a common disorder of multifactorial pathogenesis and is associated with obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin with an important function in calcium absorption and homeostasis, which is also implicated in several nonskeletal conditions. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is increasing worldwide and is associated with similar metabolic disturbances to OSAS. Moreover, recent data suggest that in OSAS patients serum levels of vitamin D are lower compared with non-apnoeic subjects. However, the mechanisms linking vitamin D deficiency and OSAS are not completely understood and several hypotheses have been advanced. To date, a limited number of studies have assessed the association between lower serum concentrations of vitamin D and OSAS, and have reported inconsistent results. Similarly, contradictory results have been produced by studies which evaluated the effect of continuous positive airway pressure treatment on serum vitamin D levels. The aim of this review is to summarise current knowledge on the association between OSAS and vitamin D levels. Due to multiple confounding factors, vitamin D deficiency is common among sleep apnoea patients; thus, screening should be performed when clinically indicatedhttp://ow.ly/L3ow30krmol

Shin JH, Kim BG, Kim BY, Kim SW, Kim SW, Kim H. Is there an association between vitamin D deficiency and adenotonsillar hypertrophy in children with sleep-disordered breathing? BMC Pediatr 2018; 18:196. [PMID: 29921246 PMCID: PMC6011183 DOI: 10.1186/s12887-018-1178-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2017] [Accepted: 06/14/2018] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Low vitamin D levels have been linked to the risk of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in children. Although adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH) is the major contributor to childhood SDB, the relationship between ATH and serum vitamin D is uncertain. We therefore investigated the relationship between vitamin D levels and associated factors in children with ATH. METHODS We reviewed data from all children with SDB symptoms who were treated from December 2013 to February 2014. Of these, 88 children whose serum vitamin D levels were measured were enrolled in the study. We divided the children into four groups based on adenoidal and/or tonsillar hypertrophy. We conducted a retrospective chart review to analyze demographic data, the sizes of tonsils and adenoids, serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D [25(OH)D] level, body mass index (BMI), and allergen sensitization patterns. RESULTS Children in the ATH group had a lower mean 25(OH)D level than did those in the control group (p < 0.05). Children with vitamin D deficiencies exhibited markedly higher frequencies of adenoidal and/or tonsillar hypertrophy than did those with sufficient vitamin D (p < 0.05). Spearman's correlation analysis identified an inverse correlation between serum 25(OH)D levels and age, tonsil and adenoid size, and height (all p < 0.05). In a multiple regression analysis, tonsil and adenoid size as well as BMI-z score, were associated with 25(OH)D levels after controlling for age, sex, height, and mite sensitization (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that low vitamin D levels are linked to ATH. Both the sizes of the adenoids and tonsils and the BMI-z score were associated with the 25(OH)D level. Therefore, measurement of the serum 25(OH)D level should be considered in children with ATH and SDB symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous studies have indicated that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), may contribute to the development of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and diabetes. Moreover, OSAS has been associated with lowered vitamin D (Vit D) levels, but reports are inconclusive. Aim of the study was to compare Vit D levels according to the presence of MetS and its components in OSAS patients. METHODS The presence of MetS was evaluated and serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] levels were measured in consecutive newly diagnosed, by polysomnography, subjects with OSAS. RESULTS A total of 107 subjects (88 men) with OSAS were included in the study. Patients were divided into group A (OSAS with MetS group: 55 subjects) and group B (OSAS without MetS: 52 subjects). There were no differences between the two groups in terms of age, body mass index, and sleep parameters. Patients in group A exhibited higher levels of daytime sleepiness, as expressed by Epworth Sleepiness Scale score (12 ± 5.5 vs. 9.3 ± 4.8 for groups A vs. B, p = 0.008). Serum 25(OH)D levels were significantly decreased in group A, as compared with group B (18 ± 8.6 ng/mL vs. 23.9 ± 14.1 ng/mL, respectively, p = 0.012). Group A was then subdivided in two smaller groups, according to patients' metabolic index: OSAS patients with metabolic score = 3 and OSAS patients with metabolic score >3. Serum 25(OH)D levels were higher in OSAS patients with metabolic score = 3 compared with OSAS patients with metabolic score >3 (19.8 ± 8.9 ng/mL vs. 15.1 ± 7.3 ng/mL respectively, p = 0.038). CONCLUSIONS OSAS patients with concurrent MetS exhibit lower serum Vit D levels, as compared with those without MetS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To address the worldwide epidemic of obesity, a sizable literature implicates sleep problems in the onset of obesity in younger populations. However, less is known about how this process may operate among older adults, which is of concern, given demographic shifts that have resulted in a much higher proportion of developed nations around the world reaching late life. METHODS We offer a current review of the literature studying older adults and examining associations between sleep quality and obesity in this population. We consider both subjective and objectively measured sleep as well as both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies offering stronger causal inference. RESULTS We discuss seemingly contradictory literature showing that shorter sleep duration as well as longer sleep duration are associated with obesity risk, then review studies that tested for non-linear relationships and reported a U-shape pattern, suggesting that too much or too little sleep is detrimental. Besides sleep duration, we discuss evidence showing that other forms of sleep dysfunction related to night-time awakenings, REM sleep, slow-wave sleep, and daytime sleepiness, which are indicators of sleep quality, are also linked to obesity. Specific psychological and physiological mediators and moderators, suggesting possible mechanisms whereby sleep problems may affect obesity in older adults, are described. CONCLUSION We conclude by discussing areas, where additional research could help clarify this association, considering such factors as medical comorbidities common in late life, and health-related behaviors that may stem from poor sleep (such as disordered eating behavior). Such insights will have great value for clinical practice. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level V, narrative review.

Abstract
RATIONALE Seasonal nadirs in 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentrations overlap with increased incidence and severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in winter. We hypothesized that, because lower 25(OH)D concentrations might lead to upper airway muscle dysfunction, low 25(OH)D would be associated with higher apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), a measure of OSA severity. OBJECTIVES To determine if lower 25(OH)D concentration is associated with greater prevalence and increased severity of OSA, independent of established OSA risk factors. METHODS Using unconditional logistic regression, we performed a cross-sectional analysis in the Outcomes of Sleep Disorders in Older Men study, which included in-home overnight polysomnography, serum 25(OH)D measurement, and collection of demographic and comorbidity data. The primary outcome was severe sleep apnea, as defined by AHI of 30/h or more. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Among 2,827 community-dwelling, largely white (92.2%), elderly (aged 76.4 ± 5.5 yr [mean±SD]) males, mean 25(OH)D concentration was 28.8 (±8.8) ng/ml. Subjects within the lowest quartile of 25(OH)D (6-23 ng/ml) had greater odds of severe sleep apnea in unadjusted analyses (odds ratio = 1.45; 95% confidence interval = 1.02-2.07) when compared with the highest 25(OH)D quartile (35-84 ng/ml). However, further adjustment for established OSA risk factors strongly attenuated this association (multivariable adjusted odds ratio = 1.05; 95% confidence interval = 0.72-1.52), with body mass index and neck circumference as the main confounders. There was also no evidence of an independent association between lower 25(OH)D levels and increased odds of mild (AHI = 5.0-14.9/h) or moderate (AHI = 15.0-29.9/h) sleep apnea. CONCLUSIONS Among community-dwelling older men, the association between lower 25(OH)D and sleep apnea was largely explained by confounding by larger body mass index and neck circumference.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between low 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and sleep disorder has been reported. We investigated whether serum concentrations of 25(OH)D are altered in chronic insomnia patients. The relationship between serum concentrations of 25(OH)D and the treatment outcome in patients at 2months was also investigated. METHODS In total, 181 chronic insomnia patients were consecutively recruited. All patients received pharmacotherapy for the treatment of chronic insomnia. Serum 25(OH)D concentrations were quantified by a competitive electrochemiluminescence protein binding assay. Treatment outcomes were defined as "response" versus "non-response", according to the change of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). We also recruited 100 healthy subjects as a control group. RESULTS Fifty-four out of 181 (29.8%) patients met the criteria for non-response. Chronic insomnia patients had significantly lower 25(OH)D concentrations compared with healthy controls (23.01±9.18 vs 27.17±6.41ng/ml, P<0.001). Non-response patients also had significantly lower 25(OH)D concentrations than those with response. Vitamin D deficiency(25(OH)D concentrations<20ng/ml) was independently associated with a higher probability of treatment non-response at 2months (odds ratio 11.636, 95% confidence interval 3.966-34.142, P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Measurement of serum 25(OH)D concentrations are probably useful for judging treatment outcomes of pharmacotherapy in chronic insomnia patients.

Abstract
The aim was to investigate whether continuous positive airway pressure treatment could modulate serum vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D) and bone turnover markers (collagen-type 1 cross-linked C-telopeptide, osteocalcin and N-terminal propeptide of type 1 collagen) in secondary analysis from a randomized controlled trial. Sixty-five continuous positive airway pressure-naïve male patients with obstructive sleep apnea (age = 49 ± 12 years, apnea-hypopnea index = 39.9 ± 17.7 events h-1 , body mass index = 31.3 ± 5.2 kg m-2 ) were randomized to receive either real (n = 34) or sham (n = 31) continuous positive airway pressure for 12 weeks. At 12 weeks, all participants received real continuous positive airway pressure for an additional 12 weeks. After 12 weeks of continuous positive airway pressure (real versus sham), there were no between-group differences for any of the main outcomes [Δ25-hydroxyvitamin D: -0.80 ± 5.28 ng mL-1 (mean ± SE) versus 3.08 ± 3.66 ng mL-1 , P = 0.42; Δcollagen-type 1 cross-linked C-telopeptide: 0.011 ± 0.014 ng mL-1 versus -0.004 ± 0.009 ng mL-1 , P = 0.48; Δosteocalcin: 1.13 ± 1.12 ng mL-1 versus 0.46 ± 0.75 ng mL-1 , P = 0.80; ΔN-terminal propeptide of type 1 collagen: 2.07 ± 3.05 μg L-1 versus -1.05 ± 2.13 μg L-1 , P = 0.48]. There were no further differences in subgroup analyses (continuous positive airway pressure-compliant patients, patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea or sleepy patients). However, after 24 weeks irrespective of initial randomization, vitamin D increased in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (9.56 ± 5.51 ng mL-1 , P = 0.045) and in sleepy patients (14.0 ± 4.69 ng mL-1 , P = 0.007). Also, there was a significant increase in osteocalcin at 24 weeks (3.27 ± 1.06 ng mL-1 , P = 0.01) in compliant patients. We conclude that 12 weeks of continuous positive airway pressure did not modulate vitamin D or modulate any of the bone turnover markers compared with sham. However, it is plausible that continuous positive airway pressure may have late beneficial effects on vitamin D levels and bone turnover markers in selected groups of patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies demonstrate an association between vitamin D (25(OH)D) deficiency and sleep disturbances, such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and short sleep duration. However, to date, no studies have concurrently and objectively evaluated the effect of these factors on 25(OH)D. OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether OSA and objective short sleep duration are independently associated with reduced 25(OH)D in an adult population sample. METHODS A cross-sectional study included 657 individuals from the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil, as part of the ERA project. Participants fulfilled questionnaires and underwent clinical evaluation, polysomnography and blood sample collection for 25(OH)D quantification. OSA was classified into three categories (mild, moderate and severe). The risk of 25(OH)D deficiency was considered as levels<30 ng/mL. Short sleep duration was defined as total sleep time<6 hours. RESULTS The risk of 25(OH)D deficiency was observed in 59.5% of the sample, affecting more individuals of the female gender, obese, with African American ethnicity, and those that were smokers, sedentary and presented hypertension and diabetes. In the final logistic model adjusted for age, gender, ethnicity, obesity, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, sedentary lifestyle, seasonality and creatinine serum levels, both OSA and short sleep duration showed significant independent associations with the risk of 25(OH)D deficiency (moderate OSA: OR for 25(OH)D<30 = 2.21, 95% CI: 1.35-3.64, p<0.01; severe OSA: OR for 25(OH)D<30 = 1.78, 95% CI: 1.06-3.00, p = 0.03; short sleep duration: OR for 25(OH)D<30 = 1.61, 95% CI: 1.15-2.26, p = 0.01). After a subgroup analysis, similar results were observed only in participants ≥50 years. CONCLUSION OSA and short sleep duration are independently associated with the risk of 25(OH)D deficiency in an adult population. Age-related changes in vitamin D metabolism and the frequency of sleep disorders may be involved in these associations. Future studies exploring whether 25(OH)D levels may modulate OSA and sleep curtailment-related outcomes are needed.

Abstract
The role of vitamin D in osteomineral metabolism is well known. Several studies have suggested its action on different biological mechanisms, such as nociceptive sensitivity and sleep-wake cycle modulation. Sleep is an important biological process regulated by different regions of the central nervous system, mainly the hypothalamus, in combination with several neurotransmitters. Pain, which can be classified as nociceptive, neuropathic and psychological, is regulated by both the central and peripheral nervous systems. In the peripheral nervous system, the immune system participates in the inflammatory process that contributes to hyperalgesia. Sleep deprivation is an important condition related to hyperalgesia, and recently it has also been associated with vitamin D. Poor sleep efficiency and sleep disorders have been shown to have an important role in hyperalgesia, and be associated with different vitamin D values. Vitamin D has been inversely correlated with painful manifestations, such as fibromyalgia and rheumatic diseases. Studies have demonstrated a possible action of vitamin D in the regulatory mechanisms of both sleep and pain. The supplementation of vitamin D associated with good sleep hygiene may have a therapeutic role, not only in sleep disorders but also in the prevention and treatment of chronic pain conditions.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a disorder characterized by repetitive collapse of the upper respiratory tract during sleep, occurs in about 4% of middle-aged men and 2% of women. The incidence of the disorder is rising due to an increase in obesity and ageing of the population. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea are at elevated risk of some endocrinal and metabolic disorders, which may lead to serious consequences including shortening of life expectancy. The recognition and understanding of interactions between local upper airway dysfunction and its endocrinal consequences is therefore vital. In this review we will focus on the influence of OSA on bone metabolism and endocrine homeostasis.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We performed a systematic review of the literature to assess the association between sleep apnea and bone metabolism diseases including osteoporosis in adult population. Results from clinical trials suggest that the association between sleep apnea and low bone mass in adults is possible. INTRODUCTION This study aimed to synthesize existing evidence on the potential association between sleep apnea and low bone mass in adults. METHODS Electronic searches of five databases were performed. The inclusion criteria consisted of studies in humans that assessed potential associations between sleep apnea and bone metabolic diseases in an adult population. For diagnosis of sleep apnea overnight polysomnography, home polygraphy, or validated records from healthcare databases were considered. Reduced bone density, osteoporosis, serum/urinary levels for markers of bone formation and resorption, or risk of fractures caused without history of trauma were considered indicators of low bone mass. A random-effects model meta-analysis was applied when possible. RESULTS Of the 963 relevant references, 12 studies met our inclusion criteria and were assessed to be of medium to low bias. Nine out of 12 studies reported an association between sleep apnea and low bone mass (increased bone resorption markers, reduced bone density, and higher risk of osteoporosis). Two studies did not report a significant association, whereas one study reported an increase of bone density in sleep apnea patients compared to non-sleep apnea patients. Meta-analysis of 2 studies (n = 112,258 patients) showed that sleep apnea was a significant risk factor for osteoporosis (odds ratio (OR), 1.92; 95%CI, 1.24 to 2.97; I2 = 66%); females only had an OR of 2.56 (95% CI, 1.96 to 3.34; I2 = 0%) while the OR in males was 2.03 (95% CI, 1.24 to 3.35; I2 = 38%). CONCLUSIONS An association between sleep apnea and low bone mass in adults is plausible, but supporting evidence has a risk of bias and is inconsistent.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Sleep quality may be directly related with vitamin D serum level. Some studies found that people with lower vitamin D serum level experienced a lower sleep quality. Consequently, this study aimed at determining the effect of vitamin D supplements on sleep score and quality in 20-50 year-old people with sleep disorders. METHODS This double blind, clinical trial was performed in November 2015-February 2016 on 89 people with sleep disorders based on Petersburg's Sleep Index. Patient samples were divided randomly into two groups: intervention and placebo. At the end of the study, the data on 89 subjects (44 in intervention group and 45 people in placebo group) were examined. Intervention group received a 50 000-unit vitamin D supplement, one in a fortnight for 8 weeks. Meanwhile, placebo group received placebo. Before and after intervention, Petersburg's Sleep Quality Questionnaire, International Physical Activity Questionnaire, general information questionnaire, sun exposure, vitamin D serum level and 3-day food record questionnaire were assessed and recorded for all participants. To analyze data, t-test, chi square, ANCOVA, U-Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon statistical tests were used. FINDINGS Based on the results of the present study, at the end of the study sleep score (PSQI) reduced significantly in vitamin recipients as compared with placebo recipients (P < 0.05). This difference was significant even after modifying confounding variables (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION This study shows that the use of vitamin D supplement improves sleep quality, reduces sleep latency, raises sleep duration and improves subjective sleep quality in people of 20-50 year-old with sleep disorder.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES A recent study reported an association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and low vitamin D levels. In this study, we measured vitamin D levels in patients referred for evaluation of suspected OSA and sought to identify associated risk factors for vitamin D deficiency. Our objective was to determine whether evaluations of patients with suspected OSA should include routine screening for vitamin D deficiency. METHODS Using a cross-sectional study design, we measured vitamin D levels in consecutively enrolled patients referred for an OSA evaluation to Dr. Lutfi Kirdar Kartal Training and Research Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. We conducted full-night polysomnography and compared vitamin D levels both between patients with OSA and patients without OSA and across the various severity levels of OSA. We evaluated the association between vitamin D levels and various clinical and demographic characteristics, including the apnea-hypopnea index and body mass index. RESULTS From April 2014 to June 2015, 195 patients were referred for OSA evaluation. Of these, 181 patients (93%) consented to participate and underwent full polysomnography and measurement of vitamin D levels. The mean ± standard deviation age was 49 ± 12 years and body mass index of 31 ± 6 kg/m2. Polysomnography led to the diagnosis of OSA in 162 of the patients (89.5%): 52 (32%) were categorized as having mild OSA, 38 (23.5%) as having moderate OSA, and 72 (44.5%) as having severe OSA. Vitamin D level was 15.5 ± 11.6 ng/mL (95% confidence interval; 13-17 ng/mL) and 134 patients (74%) met the criterion for vitamin D deficiency (< 20 ng/mL). Sex, vitamin D levels, and percentage of patients with vitamin D deficiency were similar in patients with and without OSA (P > .05). Vitamin D levels were similar across OSA severity categories (P = .68). We found no association between vitamin D levels and the apnea-hypopnea index or body mass index. CONCLUSION A large proportion of patients referred for OSA evaluation had vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D levels did not differ by OSA diagnosis status or severity. Patients referred for polysomnography should undergo routine screening for vitamin D deficiency as well as clinically indicated treatment to prevent associated comorbidities.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is associated with increased vascular morbidity. Accelerated atherosclerosis might be one of the most important mechanisms linking OSA with the development of vascular disorders. Homocysteine (HCY) and vitamin D has been associated with atherogenesis. The aim of this study was to assess a possible association between the levels of HCY and vitamin D and the carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), which is a known marker for subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with OSA. We prospectively enrolled 110 patients with the history of snoring, who underwent standard overnight polysomnography. Clinical characteristics of the population were recorded on admission and blood samples were obtained in the fasting condition following morning. Extracranial cIMT measurements were performed according to the standardized scanning protocol. A significant correlation was found between cIMT and apnea-hypopnea index (r = .276, p = .006), age (r = .486, p < .001), diabetes mellitus (r = .377, p < .001), coronary artery disease (r = .274, p = .006) and history of stroke (r = .251, p = .012). We failed to find any significant correlation between cIMT and the levels of HCY (r = .036, p = .724) or vitamin D (r = .027, p = .800). In conclusion, our data suggest that the association of cIMT with the severity of OSA can be influenced by multiple metabolic consequences of OSA including traditional and non-traditional risk factors. HCY and vitamin D do not seem to play a superior role in this process.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Our group and others have reported a high rate of vitamin D deficiency in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), where vitamin D levels (25(OH) D) correlate negatively with OSA severity and some of its associated metabolic alterations. Data regarding vitamin D supplementation in OSA are lacking. We wanted to evaluate the effect of vitamin D3 supplementation on OSA symptoms and metabolic parameters. METHODS We conducted a pilot, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of daily supplementation with 4,000 IU vitamin D3 (D3) or placebo (PL). We studied 19 Caucasian adults (14 male, mean age 55 y, mean body mass index [BMI] 30.4 kg/m2) with OSA. Fifteen patients were stable on continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) therapy, whereas four were CPAP naïve. Assessments were completed at baseline and after 15 weeks of supplementation. Outcomes included sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale), quality of life (Sleep Apnea Quality of Life Inventory), fatigue (fatigue severity scale) and neuropsychological function (trail making test and Connor's Continuous Performance Test II). In addition, we assessed biochemical indices of vitamin D status (25(OH)D, calcium), inflammation (high sensitivity C-reactive protein, and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2), lipids (total cholesterol [low-density and high-density lipoprotein]) and glycemic indices (fasting glucose, oral glucose tolerance test). RESULTS There was no change in BMI, medication, or CPAP usage. Although there was no change in neuropsychological or quality of life indices, we observed a significant increase in 25(OH)D (p = 0.00001) and significant decreases in both low-density lipoprotein (p = 0.04) and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (p = 0.037) as well as trends toward decreased fasting glucose (p = 0.09) and increased high-density lipoprotein (p = 0.07) in the D3 group compared to PL. CONCLUSIONS Vitamin D3 supplementation increased vitamin D levels and decreased metabolic markers compared to placebo. Larger trials are required.

Abstract
The aim of the following study is to evaluate the risk of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in subjects with vitamin D deficiency.Prospective and comparative study.We enrolled 240 subjects into the study. The participants were divided into 2 groups based on 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) levels: low level of 25(OH)D (<20 ng/mL) group (n = 120) and control (>20 ng/mL) group (n = 120). Subjects were classified as being at a high or low risk of developing OSAS by using the Berlin Questionnaire. Risk of developing OSAS, gender, age, and body mass index (BMI) z-score were assessed by comparing the low level of 25(OH)D group and control group.No statistically significant difference was observed between the low level of 25(OH)D group and control group in terms of gender, age, and BMI z-score distributions; P = 0.323, P = 0.387, and P = 0.093, respectively. There were 24 subjects with high risk of developing OSAS in 2 groups (17 subjects in the low level of 25[OH]D group and 7 subjects in the control group). In the low level of 25(OH)D group, the risk of developing OSAS was found to be significantly higher than the control group (P = 0.030). BMI z-score was found significantly higher in high-risk groups than low-risk groups (P = 0.034 for low-level 25[OH]D group and P = 0.023 for control group).The findings revealed that low level of 25(OH)D increases the risk of developing OSAS.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES To evaluate vitamin D (25(OH)D) levels in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and possible relationships to OSAS severity, sleepiness, lung function, nocturnal heart rate (HR), and body composition. We also aimed to compare the 25(OH)D status of a subset of OSAS patients compared to controls matched for important determinants of both OSAS and vitamin D deficiency (VDD). METHODS This was a cross-sectional study conducted at an urban, clinical sleep medicine outpatient center. We recruited newly diagnosed, Caucasian adults who had recently undergone nocturnal polysomnography. We compared body mass index (BMI), body composition (bioelectrical impedance analysis), neck circumference, sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale), lung function, and vitamin D status (serum 25-hydrpoxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) across OSAS severity categories and non-OSAS subjects. Next, using a case-control design, we compared measures of serum 25(OH)D from OSAS cases to non-OSAS controls who were matched for age, gender, skin pigmentation, sleepiness, season, and BMI. RESULTS 106 adults (77 male; median age = 54.5; median BMI = 34.3 kg/m(2)) resident in Dublin, Ireland (latitude 53°N) were recruited and categorized as non-OSAS or mild/moderate/severe OSAS. 98% of OSAS cases had insufficient 25(OH)D (< 75 nmol/L), including 72% with VDD (< 50 nmol/L). 25(OH)D levels decreased with OSAS severity (P = 0.003). 25(OH)D was inversely correlated with BMI, percent body fat, AHI, and nocturnal HR. Subsequent multivariate regression analysis revealed that 25(OH)D was independently associated with both AHI (P = 0.016) and nocturnal HR (P = 0.0419). Our separate case-control study revealed that 25(OH)D was significantly lower in OSAS cases than matched, non-OSAS subjects (P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS We observed widespread vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in a Caucasian, OSAS population. There were significant, independent, inverse relationships between 25(OH)D and AHI as well as nocturnal HR, a known cardiovascular risk factor. Further, 25(OH)D was significantly lower in OSAS cases compared to matched, non-OSAS subjects. We provide evidence that 25(OH)D and OSAS are related, but the role, if any, of replenishment has not been investigated.

Abstract
Data on paricalcitol lowering albuminuria and proteinuria already exist; however, it is unclear how paricalcitol withdrawal affects both. Forty-two nondialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients (29 men) aged 62.3 ± 12 years completed the study. CKD patients with proteinuria and intact parathyroid hormone ≥65 pg/mL received paricalcitol (1 μg/day po) for 6 months. After paricalcitol withdrawal we followed them for 6 more months. Paricalcitol treatment significantly reduced urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR), 24-hour albuminuria (24hA), and 24-hour proteinuria (24hP). Six months after drug withdrawal UACR increased significantly, 24hA and 24hP did not change significantly. Serum creatinine and cystatin C significantly increased during treatment, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decreased. After drug withdrawal serum creatinine, cystatin C, and eGFR did not change significantly. In conclusion, 6-month paricalcitol treatment (1 μg/day) in nondialysis CKD patients significantly reduced albuminuria and proteinuria. Six months after paricalcitol withdrawal 24hA and 24hP did not change significantly. Kidney function decreased during paricalcitol treatment; after paricalcitol withdrawal it remained stable. The unaltered values of 24hA, 24hP, and kidney function after paricalcitol withdrawal could be a delayed effect of paricalcitol treatment.

Is Liver Enzyme Release Really Associated with Cell Necrosis Induced by Oxidant Stress? OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2015; 2016:3529149. [PMID: 26798419 PMCID: PMC4699024 DOI: 10.1155/2016/3529149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 103] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2015] [Accepted: 10/11/2015] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Hepatic diseases are a major concern worldwide. Increased specific plasma enzyme activities are considered diagnostic features for liver diseases, since enzymes are released into the blood compartment following the deterioration of the organ. Release of liver mitochondrial enzymes is considered strong evidence for hepatic necrosis, which is associated with an increased production of ROS, often leading to greater hepatic lipid peroxidation. Lipotoxic mediators and intracellular signals activated Kupffer cells, which provides evidence strongly suggesting the participation of oxidant stress in acute liver damage, inducing the progression of liver injury to chronic liver damage. Elevated transaminase activities are considered as an index marker of hepatotoxicity, linked to oxidant stress. However, a drastic increase of serum activities of liver enzyme markers ought not necessarily to reflect liver cell death. In fact, increased serum levels of cytoplasmic enzymes have readily been observed after partial hepatectomy (PH) in the regenerating liver of rats. In this regard, we are now showing that in vitro modifications of the oxidant status affect differentially the release of liver enzymes, indicating that this release is a strictly controlled event and not directly related to the onset of oxidant stress of the liver.
