We postulated that three extremely obese Yucatan miniature pigs would have more sleep apnea than three nonobese Yucatan miniature pigs. Pigs were studied with the use of electroencephalograms, inductance plethysmography, oximetry, expired nasal CO2, or thermistors. All of the obese pigs, but none of the nonobese pigs, had both sleep apnea (8.5, 10.3, and 97.0 in obese pigs vs. O apnea + hypopnea/h in all nonobese pigs; P < 0.05) and oxyhemoglobin desaturation episodes during sleep [9.4 +/- 3.0 vs. 0 + 0.53 (SD) mean desaturation episodes/h in obese pigs vs. nonobese pigs, respectively; P < 0.05]. Two of the extremely obese pigs had obstructive sleep apnea, whereas the third obese pig had central sleep apnea. We conclude that sleep apnea occurs in extremely obese Yucatan minipigs and suggest that this animal can be used as a model for sleep apnea in obesity.
