Abstract
Sleep plays an important role in maintaining overall human health. There is increasing interest regarding the impact of sleep related disorders on metabolic diseases. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common health problem, and in the last decade, the emergence of increasing obesity rates has further led to a remarkable increase in the prevalence of OSA, along with more prominent metabolic diseases. Obesity is the strongest risk factor for OSA. However, OSA is also known to cause obesity, suggesting an interaction between OSA and obesity. Although the underlying mechanisms leading to OSA-induced metabolic diseases are probably multi-factorial and are yet to be fully elucidated, the activation of inflammation and oxidative stress and the dysregulation of appetite-regulating hormones have emerged as important pathophysiological components of metabolic dysfunction and obesity observed in patients with OSA. Here, we will review the current state of research regarding the association of OSA with metabolic diseases and the possible pathophysiological mechanisms by which OSA could lead to such diseases. This will enhance our understanding of the potential interactions between OSA and obesity and between OSA and metabolic dysfunction.
