The effects of two different antihipertansive drugs as beta blockers-adrenergic receptor antagonists on hca1 and hca2 isozymes in obstructive sleep apnea patients and control group
Özet
The catalytic function of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA)
plays a fundamental role in carbon dioxide (CO2), proton (H+),
and bicarbonate (HCO3
) homeostasis. A specific role of CA in
respiration and ventilatory control is suggested by the presence
of various CA isoforms in various tissues [1]. Carbonic anhydrase
(CA) activity increased with apnea-hypopnea index and related
nocturnal hypoxemia measures in patients with obstructive sleep
apnea (OSA) [2].
