Summary: OSA is associated with increased insulin resistance, and the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) has been found to be significantly higher in OSA patients, related to disease severity. However, further evaluation in non-obese, non-diabetic subjects is needed to determine the clinical significance of TyG in OSA.

Summary: The study found that circulating sTWEAK levels were higher in patients with OSAS compared to those with HSS, with higher levels seen in severe OSAS patients compared to mild to moderate OSAS patients. sTWEAK levels were significantly correlated with AHI values, while showing no association with glucose metabolism and visceral fat ratio. This suggests that increased sTWEAK concentrations are linked to the severity of OSAS.

Summary: This study found that dietary habits are associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and inflammation may play roles in mediating this association. The Western-type dietary pattern is positively associated with Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) and OSA severity, partially through insulin resistance. Participants with high adherence to the Western-type dietary pattern have a significantly higher likelihood of suffering from severe OSA.

Summary: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with inflammatory diseases and serum ferritin. However, little is known about the relationship between OSA severity and serum ferritin levels in healthy individuals. This retrospective study analyzed polysomnographic recordings and serum ferritin levels in 90 healthy individuals with suspected OSA. Results showed a positive correlation between serum ferritin levels and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Patients with severe OSA had higher serum ferritin levels compared to those without or with mild OSA, while serum C-reactive protein and hemoglobin levels did not differ significantly. Age and body-mass index (BMI) were also higher with increasing OSA severity.

Summary: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major public concern and this study aimed to evaluate serum Urotensin II (UII) levels in OSA patients and controls. The study included 89 OSA patients and 89 controls, and UII levels as well as other parameters were assessed. The OSA group had higher levels of hsCRP and serum UII compared to the control group, and there was a positive correlation between UII levels and hsCRP and systolic blood pressure. Multiple regression analysis showed significant associations of UII levels with AHI, SBP, and hsCRP. These findings suggest that UII may play a role in the complex pathophysiology of OSA and its cardiometabolic complications.

Summary: This study found that a lack of slow-wave sleep (SWS) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with an increased risk of insulin resistance (IR), while this association is not significant in primary snoring (PS) patients. OSA remains independently associated with IR after adjusting for potential confounders. Additionally, OSA combined with a severe lack of SWS has a more harmful effect on IR status than OSA alone.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the long-term cardiometabolic benefits of a weight-loss Mediterranean diet/lifestyle intervention in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. The results showed that compared to the standard care group, the intervention groups exhibited lower insulin, triglycerides, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels, as well as higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels; the weight-loss intervention group also showed lower diastolic blood pressure, while the Mediterranean lifestyle group showed lower glucose and systolic blood pressure levels. The risk of metabolic syndrome remained lower in the Mediterranean lifestyle group compared to the other study groups.

Summary: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep and is influenced by genetic factors such as heritability and phenotypic co-factors. Inflammatory cytokine polymorphism and obesity are strongly associated with OSA development, and advanced techniques can facilitate new discoveries and reduce the risk of developing OSA.

Summary: Obesity is a complex chronic disease that has negative impacts on health and lifespan. There is ongoing debate about whether altered gut microbiota is a risk factor for or consequence of obesity. Recent randomized clinical trials on the effects of probiotics on weight and body fat in overweight and obese individuals have conflicting results due to heterogeneity in study designs. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of these trials and suggests that future trials should focus on longer duration, higher probiotics dose, non-dairy vehicle, non-concurrent energy restriction, and more accurate measures of body fat deposits.

Summary: This study aimed to assess maternal dietary intake patterns, anthropometric measures, and biochemical markers in women with gestational diabetes mellitus and pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence. The results showed that pregnant women in the gestational diabetes mellitus pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence group had higher body mass index, arm circumference, and triceps skinfold than the other groups, indicating an obesogenic maternal environment. Significant differences in dietary food intake were also observed. The study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive strategy for pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus and pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence to address obesity and micronutrient deficiencies.

Summary: This study investigates the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) activation on thermogenic pathways and mitochondrial metabolism in mouse adipose tissue. The results show that activation of PPARa and dual PPARa/y can reduce body mass, mitigate insulin resistance, and induce browning in white adipose tissue. Preserved mitochondrial metabolism emerges as a potential target for obesity treatment using PPAR agonists, with possible clinical applications.
