buprenorphine and Obesity

In this large population-based cohort, individuals with more-severe obesity, central obesity, or genetic predisposition for obesity are at higher risk of developing severe-COVID-19.. The use of different references for the classification of a high %BF implied a difference in the diagnostic sensitivity of the BMI. Higher cutoff points resulted in greater sensitivity and ability to differentiate individuals with and without obesity.

The opioid buprenorphine alters breathing and the cytokine leptin stimulates breathing. Obesity increases the risk for respiratory disorders and can lead to leptin resistance. This study tested the hypothesis that buprenorphine causes dose-dependent changes in breathing that vary as a function of obesity, leptin status, and sex. Breathing measures were acquired from four congenic mouse lines: female and male wild type C57BL/6J (B6) mice, obese db/db and ob/ob mice with leptin dysfunction, and male B6 mice with diet-induced obesity. Mice were injected intraperitoneally with saline (control) and five doses of buprenorphine (0.1, 0.3, 1.0, 3.0, 10 mg/kg). Buprenorphine caused dose-dependent decreases in respiratory frequency while increasing tidal volume, minute ventilation, and respiratory duty cycle. The effects of buprenorphine varied significantly with leptin status and sex. Buprenorphine decreased minute ventilation variability in all mice. The present findings highlight leptin status as an important modulator of respiration and encourage future studies aiming to elucidate the mechanisms through which leptin status alters breathing.

Opiate-induced respiratory depression is sexually dimorphic and associated with increased risk among the obese. The mechanisms underlying these associations are unknown. The present study evaluated the two-tailed hypothesis that sex, leptin status, and obesity modulate buprenorphine-induced changes in breathing.. Mice (n = 40 male and 40 female) comprising four congenic lines that differ in leptin signaling and body weight were injected with saline and buprenorphine (0.3 mg/kg). Whole-body plethysmography was used to quantify the effects on minute ventilation. The data were evaluated using three-way analysis of variance, regression, and Poincaré analyses.. Relative to B6 mice with normal leptin, buprenorphine decreased minute ventilation in mice with diet-induced obesity (37.2%; P < 0.0001), ob/ob mice that lack leptin (62.6%; P < 0.0001), and db/db mice with dysfunctional leptin receptors (65.9%; P < 0.0001). Poincaré analyses showed that buprenorphine caused a significant (P < 0.0001) collapse in minute ventilation variability that was greatest in mice with leptin dysfunction. There was no significant effect of sex or body weight on minute ventilation.. The results support the interpretation that leptin status but not body weight or sex contributed to the buprenorphine-induced decrease in minute ventilation. Poincaré plots illustrate that the buprenorphine-induced decrease in minute ventilation variability was greatest in mice with impaired leptin signaling. This is relevant because normal respiratory variability is essential for martialing a compensatory response to ventilatory challenges imposed by disease, obesity, and surgical stress.
