Association Between Glucose Metabolism and Sleep-Disordered Breathing during REM Sleep.
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) has been associated with impaired glucose metabolism. It is possible that the association between SDB and glucose metabolism is distinct for non-REM versus REM sleep because of differences in sleep-state-dependent sympathetic activation and/or degree of hypoxemia. ⋯ AHIREM is associated with insulin resistance but not with fasting glycemia or glucose intolerance.
