Figure 1 Percentage of total sleep time spent in episodes of apnea and disordered breathing before, during, and after treatment with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA). Values shown are means for all patients (±SE). There were no significant differences associated with treatment.

Figure 5 Mean slopes of linear regressions of minute ventilation ( V ˙ E ) and occlusion pressure (P100) responses on expired Pco2 for all patients before, during and after treatment with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA). Brackets indicate ± SE. Asterisk indicates mean value obtained during treatment significantly greater (p<0.05) than before treatment.
