Abstract

Purpose

The aim of our study was to analyze the effects of an antioxidant treatment on markers of oxidative and carbonyl stress in a rat model of obstructive sleep apnea.

Methods

Wistar rats were randomized into six groups—according to gender and intervention—sham, intermittent hypoxia, and intermittent hypoxia with treatment by vitamins C and E. Rats underwent tracheostomy. The tracheal cannula was closed for 12 s every minute for 1 h to simulate obstructive sleep apnea-related intermittent hypoxia. In the treatment group, rats received vitamin C and E 24 h prior to surgery.

Results

The intervention had a significant effect on advanced oxidation protein products (p = 0.008) and advanced glycation end products–specific fluorescence (p = 0.006) but no effect on malondialdehyde. Oxidation and glycation protein products were higher in intermittent hypoxia groups than in sham and in treated groups.

Conclusions

Antioxidants alleviate oxidative and carbonyl stress in an experimental model of obstructive sleep apnea. Future studies will show whether such treatment has any clinical value regarding cardiovascular complications of sleep apnea syndrome, preferably in patients with low compliance to continuous positive airway pressure.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
