The study aimed to investigate the effect of daily duration of chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) exposure on circulating growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) concentrations and body weight changes of premature rats. The results showed that increasing the daily duration of CIH exposure decreased circulating GH/IGF-1 concentrations and caused growth delay in premature rats.
ObjectiveThis study mainly aimed to investigate the effect of daily duration of chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) exposure on circulating growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) concentrations and body weight changes of premature rats. Methods40 healthy male SD rats aged six weeks were enrolled in this study. These rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 10 per group), including normal control (NC) group (normal oxygen exposure every day), CIH-1 group (daily CIH exposure for 2 h), CIH-2 group (daily CIH exposure for 4 h), and CIH-3 group (daily CIH exposure for 8 h). The serum GH/IGF-1 concentrations and body weights in all rats were determined after 30 days of normal oxygen or CIH exposure. ResultsNo significant difference was found with respect to the baseline body weight among the four groups of rats. After establishments of animal models with a duration of 30 days, significant differences were found respect to body weight, body weight changes, and serum GH/IGF-1 concentrations among the four groups of rats with a same trend (all P < 0.05): the highest values were all in NC group rats, followed CIH-1 group, CIH-2 group, and CIH-3 group rats. Among all the rats, the body weight changes correlated significantly with both serum GH and IGF-1 concentrations (both P < 0.05). ConclusionCIH decreases circulating GH/IGF-1 concentrations and causes growth delay in premature rats. Such effects could be aggravated by increased daily duration of CIH exposures.
