Background: Modafinil is approved for narcolepsy and achieved high success in off-label indications in memory-related disorders.

The present protocol elucidates the effects of modafinil per se and diabetic complications apropos.

Endocrine aspects of obstructive sleep apnea.

J Clin Endocrinol Metab

Service d'Endocrinologie et des Maladies de la Reproduction, Hôpital de Bicêtre, F-94275 Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, France.

Context: Some endocrine and metabolic disorders are associated with a high frequency of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and treatment of the underlying endocrine disorder can improve and occasionally cure OSA. On the other hand, epidemiological and interventional studies suggest that OSA increases the cardiovascular risk, and a link between OSA and glucose metabolism has been suggested, via reduced sleep duration and/or quality.

Evidence Acquisition: We reviewed the medical literature for key articles through June 2009.
