Sleep apnea affects almost 1 billion people worldwide but often goes undiagnosed because snoring is perceived as kind of a snooze.
This disruption in sleep could have serious health consequences. The chronic sleep condition obstructive sleep apnea has a reciprocal relationship with the gut microbiome, according to a new study conducted by researchers from the MU School of Medicine and MU Health Care. By altering some of the trillions of gut bacteria in mice, researchers were able to influence their sleep patterns and symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea.
