Effects of Sleep Apnea Treatment on Metabolic Syndrome

(CPAP Metabolic Study)

This randomized, double blinded, cross-over study addresses whether indices of metabolic syndrome in subjects with both impaired glucose tolerance and moderate-severe sleep apnea improve with CPAP therapy. Multiple measurements of metabolism, sleep, cardiovascular function, sleepiness and vigilance are made at baseline and after two months of both CPAP and sham CPAP.
