Journal of Applied PhysiologySurges of muscle sympathetic nerve activity during obstructive apnea are linked to hypoxemia
276 Citations1995Urs A. Leuenberger, Eufémia Jacob +4 more
The BP oscillations that occur with apnea during sleep may in part be mediated by intermittent surges of sympathetic activity resulting in vasoconstriction because the MSNA responses to obstructive apnea are blunted during O2 administration and appear to be linked to intermittent arterial hypoxemia and stimulation of arterial chemoreceptors.

Administration of an anti-inflammatory dose of prednisone for 7 d induces insulin resistance in man; this is more dependent on depressed peripheral glucose utilization than on increased endogenous production; total insulin binding on isolated adipocytes is not significantly affected; and insulin resistance is primarily the outcome of postreceptor defect (impaired glucose transport).
