Postmenopausal women [21] were monitored for sleep-disordered breathing and nocturnal O2 desaturation to evaluate the contribution of progestational hormones to the occurrence of these sleep events. For approximately 1 mo. 11 subjects received 30 mg of medroxyprogesterone (MPG) daily, and 10 received placebo tablets in a randomized, double-blind controlled study. Respiration, saturation and EEG were monitored during 1 night of sleep before and 1 night after therapy. Contrasted with the low incidence of disordered breathing and desaturation in premenopausal women, 71% of the postmenopausal women had such events. In the placebo-treated group, all measured variables of sleep and breathing were identical on the 2 nights, which suggested that the findings of a single night of sleep monitoring may be representative of other nights of sleep. Although several subjects appeared to show improvement with MPG, only the maximum duration of apnea was significantly reduced the 2nd night (P < 0.03).
