Study Summary

The main purpose of this study is to determine if acute beetroot juice supplementation reduces peripheral chemoreflex sensitivity in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. All subjects will consume low-dose (BRL), higher-dose (BRH), and placebo (BRP) beetroot juice randomly on three independent study visits. Beetroot juice also improves blood flow thus, the investigators will also measure blood flow to the carotid chemoreceptors.

Primary Outcome

The ventilatory response to acute hypoxia will be measured via pneumotachometer.
