Inorganic Nitrate and OSA

Study Description
Brief Summary:
The main purpose of this study is to determine if acute beetroot juice supplementation reduces peripheral chemoreflex sensitivity in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. All subjects will consume low-dose (BRL), higher-dose (BRH), and placebo (BRP) beetroot juice randomly on three independent study visits. Beetroot juice also improves blood flow thus, the investigators will also measure blood flow to the carotid chemoreceptors.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Dietary Supplement: Pre-beetroot juice supplementation Dietary Supplement: Post-beetroot juice supplementation Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
Four-weeks of daily beetroot juice supplementation reduces peripheral chemoreflex sensitivity in healthy older adults who have 'normal' responses to acute hypoxia. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea have exaggerated peripheral chemoreflex sensitivity. It remains unknown if beetroot juice supplementation reduces peripheral chemoreflex sensitivity in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Additionally, increasing blood flow to the peripheral chemoreceptors reduces sensitivity. Given that beetroot juice improves blood flow, the investigators will also measure common carotid artery blood flow at rest and during hypoxia.

Actual Study Completion Date : March 6, 2020
Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Beetroot Juice Low
Subjects will consume beetroot juice containing 250mg inorganic nitrate and 20mg nitrite dissolved in 120ml bottled water. Peripheral chemoreflex sensitivity as well as common carotid artery blood flow will be assessed before and after supplementation.
Dietary Supplement: Pre-beetroot juice supplementation
Before administering beetroot juice to subjects.

Dietary Supplement: Post-beetroot juice supplementation
After administering beetroot juice to subjects.

Experimental: Beetroot Juice High
Subjects will consume beetroot juice containing 500mg inorganic nitrate and 40mg nitrite dissolved in 120ml bottled water. Peripheral chemoreflex sensitivity as well as common carotid artery blood flow will be assessed before and after supplementation.
Dietary Supplement: Pre-beetroot juice supplementation
Before administering beetroot juice to subjects.

Dietary Supplement: Post-beetroot juice supplementation
After administering beetroot juice to subjects.

Active Comparator: Beetroot Juice Placebo
Subjects will consume beetroot juice devoid of inorganic nitrate and nitrite dissolved in 120ml bottled water. Peripheral chemoreflex sensitivity as well as common carotid artery blood flow will be assessed before and after supplementation.
Dietary Supplement: Pre-beetroot juice supplementation
Before administering beetroot juice to subjects.

Dietary Supplement: Post-beetroot juice supplementation
After administering beetroot juice to subjects.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Changes in peripheral chemoreflex sensitivity [ Time Frame: Before and after consuming all supplements (within three hours) ]
    The ventilatory response to acute hypoxia will be measured via pneumotachometer.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Changes in common carotid artery blood flow [ Time Frame: Before and after consuming all supplements (within three hours) ]
    Blood flow through the common carotid artery before and during hypoxia measured via Doppler ultrasound
