possible which ABSTRACT: Sleep disturbance is associated with inflammation and related disorders including cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and diabetes mellitus. Given sex differences in the prevalence of inflammatory disorders with stronger associations in females, this study was undertaken to test the effects of sleep loss on cellular mechanisms that contribute to proinflammatory cytokine activity. In 26 healthy adults (11 females; 15 males), monocyte intracellular proinflammatory cytokine production was repeatedly assessed at 08:00, 12:00, 16:00, 20:00, and 23:00h during a baseline period and after partial sleep deprivation (awake from 23:00 to 3.00h). In the morning after a night of sleep loss, monocyte production of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) differentially changed between the two sexes. Whereas both females and males showed a marked increase in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) - stimulated production of IL-6 and TNF-alpha in the morning immediately after PSD, production of these cytokines during the early- and late evening was increased in the females as compared to decreases in the males. Sleep loss induces a functional alteration of monocyte proinflammatory cytokine responses with females showing greater cellular immune activation as compared to changes in males. These results have implications for understanding the role of sleep disturbance in the differential risk profile for inflammatory disorders between the sexes. ABSTRACT: The recurrent hypoxic stress that characterizes obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) seems to play a role in the increased adherence of neutrophils to endothelial cells as well as in the resulting migration of the former to the inflamed area. Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and interleukin (IL)-8 are markers widely used in OSA studies to investigate inflammation. The aim of this study was to measure ICAM-1 and IL-8 levels in the breath condensate and in the plasma and inflammatory cells in the induced sputum of 12 obese OSA (OO) patients, 10 nonobese OSA (NOO) patients, 10 obese non-OSA (ONO) subjects, and 8 healthy subjects (HS) using a specific enzyme immunoassay (EIA) kit. A significant increase in both plasma and exhaled IL-8 and ICAM concentrations and percentage neutrophils was observed in the induced sputum of obese OSA patients, non-obese OSA patients, and obese non-OSA subjects compared with healthy subjects. However, although these inflammatory markers were found to follow an upward trend in obese OSA patients no difference was observed in both either non-obese OSA patients and obese non-OSA subjects. Finally, a significant Sleep deprivation has been shown to increase inflammatory markers in rat sera and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Inflammation is a condition associated with pathologies such as obesity, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. We investigated changes in the pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines and adipokines in different depots of white adipose tissue in rats. We also assessed lipid profiles and serum levels of corticosterone, leptin, and adiponectin after 96 hours of sleep deprivation. METHODS: The study consisted of two groups: a control (C) group and a paradoxical sleep deprivation by 96 h (PSD) group. Ten rats were randomly assigned to either the control group (C) or the PSD. Mesenteric (MEAT) and retroperitoneal (RPAT) adipose tissue, liver and serum were collected following completion of the PSD protocol. Levels of interleukin (IL)-6, interleukin (IL)-10 and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α were analysed in MEAT and RPAT, and leptin, adiponectin, glucose, corticosterone and lipid profile levels were analysed in serum. RESULTS: IL-6 levels were elevated in RPAT but remained unchanged in MEAT after PSD. IL-10 protein concentration was not altered in either depot, and TNF-α levels decreased in MEAT. Glucose, triglycerides (TG), VLDL and leptin decreased in serum after 96 hours of PSD; adiponectin was not altered and corticosterone was increased. CONCLUSIONS: PSD decreased fat mass and may modulate the cytokine content in different depots of adipose tissue. The inflammatory response was diminished in both depots of adipose tissue, with increased IL-6 levels in RPAT and decreased TNF-Î ± protein concentrations in MEAT and increased levels of corticosterone in serum. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), a marker of ventricular strain, and C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation, are reportedly elevated in school-aged children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We hypothesized that cardiovascular morbidity affects circulating markers and their echocardiographic and polysomnographic (PSG) correlates in young children with OSA. METHODS: We assessed young children undergoing adenotonsillectomy (TA) for OSA by polysomnography, echocardiography, and serum CRP and NT-proBNP levels. RESULTS: A total of 90 children with OSA (mean age 19 +/- 7 months; 71.2% male; BMI, z = 0.62 +/- 1.04) and 45 age- and sex-matched controls were included. Three months following TA, 72 children were reassessed for NT-proBNP and CRP. NT-proBNP level (pg/mL) was higher in subjects with OSA (189.1 +/- 112.7) vs control subjects (104.8 +/- 49.5; P = .006). Both NT-proBNP (187.8 +/- 114 vs 86 +/- 32.6; P = .002) and CRP levels (mg %) (0.49 +/- 0.41 vs 0.1 +/- 0.17; P < .05) decreased following TA. Doppler pulse wave measuring tricuspid regurgitation (TR), a reflection of pulmonary hypertension, correlated with CRP (r = 0.61, P < .01) but not NT-proBNP (r = -0.14, P = .53) levels. Left ventricle end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) was at the maximal normal range (0.91
