Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between serum levels of serum apolipoprotein M (ApoM), A5 (ApoA5), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and study the effects of nasal continuous positive airway pressure treatment on these serum biomarkers. Methods: Thirty OSAHS patients and 15 non-OSAHS probands as control were selected for the study. Serum HDL, ApoM, and ApoA5 levels in two groups were detected; differences and association among them were analyzed. Patients with moderate and severe OSAHS underwent 3-month auto-continuous positive airway pressure treatment, and a comparative study was conducted to investigate the changes in blood lipids, serum ApoM, and ApoA5. Results: In comparison to the control group, the HDL, ApoM, and ApoA5 serum levels were lower (P < 0.05). HDL was positively correlated to ApoM and ApoA5 (P < 0.001), and ApoM was positively correlated to ApoA5 (r = 0.536, P < 0.001). HDL, ApoM, and ApoA5 were significantly increased in the patients of moderate and severe OSAHS after auto-continuous positive airway pressure treatment for 3 months (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The HDL level was significantly lower in OSAHS patients. The decrease in serum ApoM and ApoA5 in OSAHS patients was correlated to the severity of OSAHS and HDL levels. Auto-continuous positive airway pressure treatment increased serum levels of ApoM, ApoA5, and HDL in OSAHS patients.
