Abstract Introduction Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) commonly exhibit grey and white matter loss, which may be related to hypoxic damage in the brain during sleep. Our preliminary data demonstrated lower values of cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) consumption in apneics versus controls. As such, reduced CMRO2 may be an important contributor to the neurologic consequences of OSA. Here we report a rodent model for chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) to quantify effects on CMRO2 consumption. We hypothesized that increased severity of CIH results in decreased CMRO2 levels. Methods Three groups of rats were subject to varying levels of hypoxia: sham (21% oxygen; n = 19), moderate (11% oxygen; n = 14), and severe (6% oxygen; n = 21). To deliver hypoxia, rats were exposed to three-minute cycles of oxygen between 21% and condition-specific nadir O2 for 12 hours daily during their sleep cycle. CMRO2 values were measured with MRI techniques, performed on anesthetized rats before and after 3 months exposure to CIH. Results Rats from the three hypoxia groups did not differ significantly in CMRO2 values at baseline (0 months). After 3 months of exposure to hypoxic conditions, there was a trending difference (p=0.0726) in percent change from baseline between severely hypoxic (-35.3%) and sham (+12.3%) rats. Moderately hypoxic rats demonstrated an intermediate decrease from baseline after 3 months (-19.0%). Conclusion Our findings suggest that increased severity of intermittent hypoxia yields a dose-response decrease in brain oxygen consumption. Our data add to the growing body of evidence on the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and hypoxic damage in the brain, suggesting that CMRO2 levels may be an indicator of the neurologic consequences of OSA.
