flutamide and Sleep Apnea Syndromes

flutamide has been researched along with Sleep Apnea Syndromes in 1 studies

Flutamide: An antiandrogen with about the same potency as cyproterone in rodent and canine species.

Sleep Apnea Syndromes: Disorders characterized by multiple cessations of respirations during sleep that induce partial arousals and interfere with the maintenance of sleep. Sleep apnea syndromes are divided into central (see SLEEP APNEA, CENTRAL), obstructive (see SLEEP APNEA, OBSTRUCTIVE), and mixed central-obstructive types.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"As sleep apnea is more prevalent in men and testosterone has known effects on sleep apnea and chemosensitivity, reduction of androgen activity may influence sleep-disordered breathing and respiratory control."1.28Androgen blockade does not affect sleep-disordered breathing or chemosensitivity in men with obstructive sleep apnea. ( Berthon-Jones, M; Grunstein, RR; Handelsman, DJ; Stewart, DA; Sullivan, CE, 1992)
