Efficacy Study of CPAP on Nitrate and Norepinephrine Levels in Severe and Mild-moderate Sleep Apnea (SABIO) (SABIO)

January 16, 2013 updated by: Paula Pinto, University of Lisbon

Effects of CPAP on Nitrate and Norepinephrine Levels in Severe and Mild-moderate Sleep Apnea

Reduced plasma nitrate (NOx) levels and increased urinary norepinephrine (U-NE) levels have been described in severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and are reverted by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The investigators wanted to know the effect of CPAP on these biomarkers in mild-moderate OSA.

Detailed Description

The investigators aimed to compare NOx and U-NE levels and blood pressure (BP) between male patients with mild-moderate and severe OSA and determine the impact of 1 month of CPAP therapy on these parameters.

The investigators undertook a prospective study of 67 consecutive OSA patients (36 mild-moderate, 31 severe). Measurements of plasma NOx at 11 pm, 4 am and 7 am, 24-h U-NE and ambulatory BP were obtained at baseline and after 1 month of CPAP.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: CPAP treatment
67 consecutive male patients with OSA were recruited: 36 with mild-moderate OSA and 31 with severe OSA. Data were collected in all subjects at baseline and after 1 month of CPAP.
Device: CPAP
CPAP adaptation was performed by a sleep technician and the patients were instructed to use this for 1 month.
Other Names:
  • Automated pressure setting device (AutoSet Spirit, ResMed)
