阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征与胰岛素抵抗的关系

目的探讨阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征（OSAHS）与胰岛素抵抗（IR）的关系。方法选男性肥胖OSAHS患者60例（肥胖OSAHS组）、非OSAHS肥胖男性60例（肥胖非OSAHS组）、体重正常非OSAHS男性60例（正常体重非OSAHS组）,计算3组受试者的腰臀比和体重指数（BMI）;观察脉搏血氧饱和度（SpO2）;测空腹血糖,用高度特异的单克隆抗体夹心放大酶联免疫分析法测真胰岛素（TI）,IR的体内稳定状态模式评估方法（HOMA-IR）评估IR;行多导睡眠图（PSG）监测,计算呼吸暂停低通气指数（AHI）。结果同样是肥胖者,肥胖OSAHS组TI、HOMA—IR高于肥胖非OSAHS组,而最低SpO2低于肥胖非OSAHS组;在非OSAHS者中,肥胖非OSAHS组TI、HOMA-IR高于正常体重非OSAHS组,而最低SpO2低于正常体重非OSAHS组。协方差分析校正年龄、BMI、腰臀比的影响后,肥胖OSAHS组的TI、HOMA-IR仍明显高于肥胖非OSAHS组和正常体重非OSAHS组,肥胖非OSAHS组的TI、HOMA—IR明显高于正常体重非OSAHS组。多元线性回归分析显示MTU、HOMA—IR均与年龄和最低SpO2呈负相关,与BMI、腰臀比、AHI呈正相关;当以TU作因变量时,腰臀比是影响肥胖OSAHS组IR的主要因素,AHI与最低SpO2是TI的独立影响因素;当以HOMA—IR作因变量时,腰臀比是其主要影响因素,AHI与最低SpO2是其独立影响因素。结论OSAHS与IR独立相关,OSAHS可能经IR这一中间途径导致心血管疾病。

Relationship between obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome and insulin resistance

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is independently associated with insulin resistance (IR). METHODS: We recruited 60 male obese patients with OSAHS [OSAHS group, age (42.3 +/- 2.6) years, body mass index (BMI) (28.3 +/- 2.1) kg/m2, waist/hip ratio (WHR) 0.95 +/- 0.05], 60 male weight-matched obese patients without OSAHS [OB group, age (41.5 +/- 3.1) years, BMI (27.7 +/- 1.5) kg/m2, WHR 0.94 +/- 0.04] and 60 male normal weight subjects [NW group, age (41.8 +/- 2.4) years, BMI (22.6 +/- 1.9) kg/m2, WHR 0.86 +/- 0.05]. The subjects underwent polysomnography and OSAHS was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) > or = 5. The systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were measured. IR was evaluated by fasting serum true insulin (TI) level and IR index based on the homeostasis model assessment method (HOMA-IR). In the OSAHS group, multiple linear regression was used with either TI or HOMA-IR as the dependent variable, and the corresponding set of independent variables included age, BMI, WHR, AHI and minimum oxygen saturation (MSpO2). RESULTS: After adjustment for age, BMI, and WHR, the OSAHS group was more insulin resistant, as indicated by the higher levels of TI and HOMA-IR. Multiple linear regression showed that the central obesity parameter (WHR) was the major determinant of IR of the OSAHS group, while sleep-disordered breathing parameters (AHI and MSpO2) were also independent determinants of IR of the group (TI: AHI P = 0.017, TI: MSpO2 P = 0.005; HOMA-IR: AHI P = 0.008, HOMA-IR: MSpO2 P = 0.003). CONCLUSION: OSAHS may be independently associated with IR.
