ABSTRACT:
A method for improving ventilation during sleep and treating sleep-related ventilation abnormalities. To this end, the present invention provides a method of using branched-chain amino acids as an effective therapy for sleep apnea. The branched-chain amino acid composition can be administered either parenterally or enterally, and can be administered alone or in combination with other nutrients. The branched-chain amino acid composition of the present invention functions as a ventilatory stimulator during sleep and does not result in any adverse effects either to the patient or to the sleep patterns of the patient. Preferably, the branched-chain amino acids comprise 60 to 85% of an amino acid solution that is administered to the patient.
