Disturbances of the Gut Microbiota, Sleep Architecture, and mTOR Signaling Pathway in Patients with Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Associated Hypertension by Chih-Yuan Ko, Huan-Zhang Su, Li Zhang, Yi-Ming Zeng

“…Results revealed that severe-OSA patients with hypertension had an altered gut microbiome, decreased short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria P<0.05, and reduced arginine and proline metabolism pathways P=0.001, compared with controls; also, they had increased stage N1 sleep and reduced stages N2 and N3 sleep accompanied by repeated arousals P<0.05. Analysis of PBMCs using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database showed that the mTOR signaling pathway P=0.006 was the most important differential gene-enriched pathway in severe-OSA patients with hypertension. …”
