Papel dos receptores da adenosina em um modelo animal do transtorno de déficit de atenção e hiperatividade

Pandolfo, Pablo 25 October 2012 (has links)
Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Biológicas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Farmacologia, Florianópolis, 2010 / Made available in DSpace on 2012-10-25T10:11:21Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 285124.pdf: 7424773 bytes, checksum: 902b0f708c20e18eef5f3da249e41e4a (MD5) / O transtorno de déficit de atenção e hiperatividade (TDAH) é uma das doenças psiquiátricas mais prevalentes na infância, afetando aproximadamente 5% das crianças em idade escolar. O TDAH está caracterizado pelos sintomas de desatenção, hiperatividade e impulsividade, os quais parecem resultar de desequilíbrios dopaminérgicos nos circuitos do estriado (EST) e córtex pré-frontal (CPF). Além disso, a associação entre o TDAH e o abuso de drogas na adolescência e idade adulta está bem estabelecida. Notavelmente, a maconha (Cannabis sativa) é a droga ilícita mais usada em indivíduos com TDAH. O metilfenidato (MFD) é um psicoestimulante utilizado como tratamento de escolha no TDAH, podendo causar conseqüências duradouras no desenvolvimento neurobiológico e aumentar o risco para o abuso de drogas. Os ratos espontaneamente hipertensos (SHR) são considerados como um modelo genético adequado para o estudo do TDAH, uma vez que esta linhagem apresenta características comportamentais e neuroquímicas observadas no transtorno. Visto que as interações entre dopamina e adenosina no sistema nervoso central (SNC) têm sido amplamente estudadas, o objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar se a cafeína (antagonista não seletivo dos receptores de adenosina) previne as modificações comportamentais e neuroquímicas exibidas pelos ratos SHR. Primeiro, ratos SHR e Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) foram tratados com cafeína durante a adolescência e testados na idade adulta nos testes attentional set-shifting, campo aberto e labirinto em "Y" antes de serem sacrificados para as análises neuroquímicas de captação de dopamina em terminais nervosos, níveis do transportador de dopamina (DAT) e de receptores D1, D2, A2A, e CB1 no EST e CPF. Além disso, outros alvos também foram investigados em ambas as áreas cerebrais: tirosina hidroxilase (TH), sinaptofisina, (SNAP-25), transportador vesicular de glutamato (VGlut), transportador vesicular de GABA (VGAT) e a co-localização dos receptores A2A com DAT, VGlut ou VGAT. Segundo, investigar o papel de antagonistas adenosinérgicos, incluindo a cafeína, sobre os efeitos impulsivos e motivacionais do agonista canabinóide WIN55,212-2 (WIN) em SHR. Os ratos SHR exibiram hiperatividade e baixo desempenho no attentional set-shifting e no labirinto em "Y" comparados aos WKY; o tratamento com cafeína melhorou os prejuízos de atenção e de memória em SHR. Os ratos SHR apresentaram níveis elevados de DAT e de captação de dopamina em terminais do EST e do CPF; o tratamento crônico com cafeína eliminou as diferenças entre linhagens para os níveis de DAT e para a captação de dopamina. Uma maior densidade dos receptores A2A, CB1, D1 e D2 foi observada em terminais do CPF de SHR. Além disso, a co-localização de A2A-DAT no EST de SHR estava significantemente menor do que em WKY. O WIN prejudicou a tolerância ao atraso da recompensa e produziu preferência condicionada ao lugar (PCL) em ratos SHR, esses efeitos foram prevenidos pelo pré-tratamento com cafeína. Os efeitos comportamentais do WIN mediados pelos receptores CB não estavam relacionados com pressão arterial. Esses achados indicam o potencial terapêutico da cafeína em tratar os prejuízos de atenção e de memória típicos do TDAH e na relação deste transtorno com abuso de drogas. Os resultados do presente estudo encorajam estudos adicionais para investigar o valor terapêutico da cafeína em pacientes com TDAH, tanto do ponto de vista cognitivo quanto da modulação do controle executivo sobre os comportamentos relacionados ao abuso de drogas.

Molekulární dynamika jako prostředek pro studium biologických systémů / Molecular dynamics as a tool to study biological systems

SOVOVÁ, Žofie January 2013 (has links)
Molecular dynamics simulations are a theoretical method enabling to trace the movement of atoms within a system. The system studied is usually treated on the atomistic level, however its overall properties can be also described satisfactory if several atoms are handled as one particle (coarse-grained molecular dynamics). This thesis presents molecular modeling and (coarse-grained) molecular dynamics as tools for the description of different biologically relevant systems. The coarse-grained force field parameters had to be developed prior to characterization of the thylakoid membrane from cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC6803. Two different compositions of the membrane were studied in order to reveal differences in their behavior. The PsbI subunit of photosystem II was embedded into the thylakoid membrane and its behavior, both as an isolated protein and as a cluster of several units, was described. The last system examined was the C-type lectin-like domain of NKR-P1, a surface receptor of natural killer cells. Attention was payed to its structural characterization.

Mapping Reward Values to Cues, Locations, and Objects: The Influence of Reward Associations on Visual Attention

de Dios, Constanza 03 July 2019 (has links)
Previous work has attempted to fit reward-driven attentional selection as being exogenous (stimulus-driven) or endogenous (goal-driven). However, recent work suggests that reward’s effects on attention depend on the type of stimulus feature that the motivational information is imparted during learning (incentive salience). If true, then reward should not be limited to solely impacting early perceptual or late categorization processes attention. The current study used event-related potentials (ERPs) to test the idea that reward’s effects on attention depend on the process that the reward information is embedded – early perceptual or late categorization. Results demonstrated reward-driven effects on perceptual representation when value information was conveyed by cues in a spatial cuing task, but did not find any value-driven effects when value was introduced later in processing in target-defined features in a target detection task. The current work suggests that reward can be rapidly acquired and sustained throughout a task, recruiting mechanisms of both exogenous and endogenous attention.

Nominal Determination: Focus on a Few Operations in Cameroon Pidgin English

Leoue, Jean Gilbert 06 1900 (has links)
Based on a contrastive and variationist approach, this research work sheds light on the study of the structure of the Noun Phrase in Cameroon Pidgin English in contrast with Standard British English. Among other relevant topics, the following aspects of the NP are considered: the system of pronouns, nominal anaphora, the system of articles, the deictic implementation, quantification, intensification and reduplication.

Semantique Et Grammaticalisation De 'Do' En Anglais: Approche Contrastive (The Semantax And Grammaticalization Of 'Do' In English: A Contrastive Study)

Leoue, Jean Gilbert 03 1900 (has links)
The subject of this contrastive study is fourfold: (a) it takes into account the inference of languages in contact in the diachronic development of English language; and it builds up a hypothesis on the origin of periphrastic DO; (b) this study lays its foundations on established facts from diachrony and etymology to claim that the grammaticalization of DO did not entail any process of desemantisation; (c) it also resorts to an invariant-meaning approach to show that the auxiliary DO – just like its lexical counterpart – is not meaningless in natural language; (d) it carries out a critical analysis of current trends on either a binary categorization or a ternary categorization for DO-forms (lexical verb (vs. proverb) vs. auxiliary). Then, this study shows that the proform DO SO can indeed substitute for purely stative predicates; and, as an operator of ‘thesis’, DO has an enunciative function which accounts for its occurrences as well as its non-occurrences in the linear structuring.

For smooth cubic surface Cayley and Salmon, 1847, (and Clebsch later) proved that it has exactly 27 lines. For degree 4, in 1943 Segre proved that the maximum number of lines contained in a smooth quartic surface is 64. For surfaces of degree greater than 4 this number is unknown. In this work, we are going to explore what is the maximum number of lines that a smooth complex surface of degree d of the family Fd ; may contain. Thus, we obtain a lower bound to the maximum number of lines that non singular surfaces of degree d in P3 may contain. We emphasize that the determination of this numbers is based on the Klein's classi cation theorem of nitte subgroups of Aut(P1) and the study of 􀀀C; the subgroup of Aut(P1) whose elements leaves invariant the nite subset C of P1: / Sabe-se que planos e superf cies qu adricas no espa co projetivo cont em in nitas retas.

No caso de grau 4, em 1943 Segre provou que o n umero m aximo de retas contidas numa superf cie qu artica n~ao singular e 64. Para superf cies de grau maior que 4 esse n umero e desconhecido. Neste trabalho vamos explorar qual e a quantidade m axima de retas que uma superf cie complexa n~ao singular de grau d na fam lia Fd ; pode conter. Assim obtemos uma cota inferior para o n umero m aximo de retas que as superf cies n~ao singulares de grau d em P3 podem conter.
