Obliverstructive sleep apnoea is one of the most studied sleep disorders affecting large numbers of both men and women in the population. Sleep apnoea has been associated with cardiovascular disease, stroke, high blood pressure and diabetes. Sleep apnoea is also incriminated in psychological disorders as well as car accidents.

In Switzerland, researchers at the University of Bern have established a link between sleep apnoea and liver disease. The study was undertaken using lab mice kept in an environment of low oxygen. The mice had fat deposits and inflammation of the liver. The genes responsible for fat breakdown in the low oxygen group of mice showed decreased activities. Finally, these mice also showed decreased sensitivity to insulin when compared to the control group.
