Ativação serotonérgica e não-serotonérgica nos núcleos mediano e dorsal da rafe, nas diferentes fases do ciclo estral de ratas e após ovariectomia /

Orientadora: Telma Gonçalves Carneiro Spera de Andrade / Coorientadora: Isabel Cristina Cherici Camargo / Banca: Miriam Mendonça Morato de Andrade / Banca: Rafael Carvalho Almada / Resumo: Deakin e Graeff propuseram que ansiedade e o pânico seriam regulados pela serotonina ou 5-hidroxitriptamina (5-HT), possuindo mais de um mecanismo de controle. Ambos os mecanismos têm sua origem nos núcleos Dorsal da Rafe (NDR) e Mediano da Rafe (NMR). O NDR possui ainda, cinco diferentes subnúcleos ao longo do eixo rostrocaudal: dorsal (DRD), ventral (DRV), lateral/asas laterais (lwDR), caudal (DRC) e interfascicular (DRI), sendo que os subnúcleos DRC, DRD e DRI originam a via modulatória do transtorno de ansiedade generalizada e o subnúcleo lwDR origina a via modulatória do transtorno do pânico. Sabe-se que as mulheres são mais suscetíveis à manifestação dos transtornos de ansiedade e de pânico do que os homens. Estudos com modelos animais de ansiedade mostram que nas fases do ciclo hormonal onde ocorre maior liberação de estrógeno, proestro e estro, é constatada ansiólise. De maneira oposta em animais na fase de metaestro e diestro, nas quais há baixa concentração sérica de estradiol, os comportamentos defensivos observados apontam para o aumento da ansiedade. Receptores para estrógeno, alfa (ERα) e beta (ERβ), foram encontrados em estruturas encefálicas descritas por Deakin e Graeff como relacionadas com a manifestação dos transtornos de ansiedade e co-localizadas em receptores serotonérgicos. Assim, esse estudo teve por objetivo avaliar a expressão de neurônios serotonérgicos e não-serotonérgicos no NMR e nos diferentes subnúcleos do NDR em relação a fase do ciclo...

Both mechanisms have their origin in Dorsal Raphe Nucleus (DRN) and Median Raphe Nucleus (MRN). The DRN also has five sub-regions along the rostrocaudal axis: dorsal (DRD), ventral (DRV), lateral / lateral wings (lwDR), caudal (DRC) and interfascicular (DRI), being that the DRC, DRD and DRI subnuclei originate the modulatory pathway of generalized anxiety disorder and the subnucleus lwDR originates the modulatory pathway of panic disorder. It is known that women are more susceptible to the manifestation of anxiety and panic disorders than men. Studies with animal models of anxiety show that in the phases of the hormonal cycle where estrogen release occurs, like proestrus and estrous, anxiolysis is observed. On the other hand, animals in the metaestrus and diestrus phase, in which there is a low concentration of estradiol, the observed defensive behaviors point to an increase in anxiety. Receptors for estrogen, alpha (ERα) and beta (ERβ) were found in structures described by Deakin and Graeff as re lated to a manifestation of anxiety disorders and co-localized in serotonergic receptors. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the expression of serotonergic and non-serotonergic neurons in the MRN and in the different NDR subnuclei in relation to the phases of estrous cycle of rats and after a bilateral ovariectomy. The females were perfused and the brains were processed in order to perform the double-label immunohistochemistry process for c-Fos protein (cellular activation indirect marker) and tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH - present only in serotonergic neurons). No difference was found when MRN was analyzed. The results showed a... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre
