This is because both pathways begin
with desaturation by the same delta - 6 desaturase enzymes.

Mr Coussens says for some years, clinicians had thought that behavior problems seen in children
with sleep - related breathing problems — like sleep apnea (stopping breathing briefly while sleeping)-- were related to a
desaturation of blood oxygen levels.
«Our findings that prolonged oxygen
desaturation, shorter sleep time and higher heart rate were associated
with diabetes are consistent
with the pathophysiological mechanisms thought to underlie the relationship between OSA and diabetes.»
«The effective sedation seen in this study
with a low rate of
desaturation and infrequent need for airway support is an important result,» Dr Atkins and coauthors write.

Combined
with heart rate, your blood oxygen level and so - called
desaturations can reliably be used to detect sleep apnea (a pause in breathing due to obesity or obstruction).
