A DP se caracteriza por diversos sintomas motores como tremores, bradicinesia, rigidez e altera??es posturais. Al?m destes, sintomas cognitivos como d?ficits de aten??o e mem?ria, dem?ncia e altera??es de humor tamb?m est?o presentes. ? poss?vel perceber marcada mudan?a na arquitetura do sono de pacientes com DP. O horm?nio melatonina sintetizado principalmente pela gl?ndula pineal localizada no Epit?lamo ? considerado um dos horm?nios que induzem a fase de sono dos organismos. Sua a??o ocorre ap?s se ligar a receptores espec?ficos, MT1 e MT2. No presente estudo foram utilizados 15 ratos machos de meia idade (10 meses) da esp?cie Wistar, divididos em dois grupos denominados de Controle (CTR) e Reserpina (RES). Esses animais foram submetidos a um protocolo cr?nico de 20 inje??es de reserpina, com o intuito de criar sintomatologias semelhantes a DP. Durante o protocolo experimental os animais foram avaliados atrav?s de teste de catalepsia. Com o fim do tratamento os animais foram sacrificados e submetidos a procedimento imunistoquimico para identifica??o dos receptores MT1 e MT2 em 5 ?reas do sistema nervoso central relacionadas diretamente com o ciclo do sono e com sintomas mais evidentes da DP, sendo elas, NE, NSQ, VLPO, SN e ZSPV. Nossos resultados mostraram que durante o per?odo de tratamento os animais do grupo reserpina apresentaram consider?vel e progressivo d?ficits motores que se acentuaram nos dias sete, oito, nove e dez de inje??es. Nossas analises imunoistoqu?micas mostraram que ocorre significativa redu??o da express?o de receptores de melatonina nos animais reserpina em todos os n?cleos avaliados, entretanto, novos estudos s?o necess?rios para uma melhor compreens?o do real motivo dessa diminui??o de express?o de receptores e se esta diminui??o tem efeito significativo nas altera??es do sono verificadas nos pacientes com DP. / Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that mainly affects males with advancing age. PD is characterized by several motor symptoms such as tremors, bradykinesia, stiffness and postural changes. In addition to these, cognitive symptoms such as attention and memory deficits, dementia and mood changes are also present. It is also possible to notice a marked change in the sleep architecture of patients with PD. The hormone melatonin synthesized mainly by the pineal gland located in the thalamus is considered one of the hormones that induce the sleep phase of the organisms. Its action occurs after binding to specific receptors, MT1 and MT2. In the present study, 15 male Wistar rats (10 months) were divided into two groups called Control (CTR) and Reserpine (RES). These animals were submitted to a chronic protocol of 20 injections of reserpine, in order to create symptoms similar to PD. During the experimental protocol the animals were evaluated by catalepsy test. At the end of the treatment the animals were sacrificed and submitted to an immunohistochemical procedure to identify the MT1 and MT2 receptors in 5 areas of the central nervous system related directly to the sleep cycle and with more evident symptoms of PD, VLPO, SN and ZSPV. Our results showed that during the period of treatment the animals of the reserpine group presented a considerable and progressive motor deficit that were accentuated on days seven, eight, nine and ten of injections. Our immunohistochemical analyzes have shown that there is a significant reduction in the expression of melatonin receptors in the reserpine animals in all evaluated nuclei, however, new studies are necessary to better understand the real reason for this decrease in receptor expression and whether this decrease has a significant effect on Observed in patients with PD.
