Attempts are being made to find a cure or at least a better treatment that can slow down the progression of Parkinson?s disease, but recently, no intervention has been discovered. A better understanding of the basic mechanisms that underlie this disease is of great importance for the development of new drugs. Lifestyle factors, such diet, can influence different biological mechanisms involved in PD, such as the purinergic system, the dopaminergic system, neuroinflammation and microbiota. In this thesis, these factors will be explored in different animal models. In Chapter 2, the interaction of adenosine receptors with dopaminergic receptors and the potential role of adenosine receptor ligands in the treatment of PD are reviewed. In this chapter, the potential relation of adenosine with lifestyle and diabetes is discussed as well. In Chapter 3, we investigated the interaction of purinergic and dopaminergic receptors in a zebrafish model of PD. After intra-encephalic injection of 6-OHDA, zebrafish presented behavioral changes and slight effect on the dopaminergic system. In Chapter 4, we investigated the feasibility of in vivo PET imaging in living healthy adult zebrafish and in a zebrafish model of inflammation. This study demonstrated that in vivo PET imaging with 18F-FDG and 18F-NaF in living zebrafish is feasible and differences in uptake can be seen in a model of inflammation. In Chapter 5, we analyzed the impact of a cafeteria diet on the reward system in rats. Our study suggests that D2 receptors play a role in obesity and consumption of a cafeteria diet, but no alterations after challenge was observed. To elucidate the influence of a high fat diet (HFD) on PD progression, we investigated the effect of a HFD on the availability of D2 receptors and behavioral parameters in rats, in Chapter 6. The HFD aggravated the damage in the PD model, suggesting a detrimental role of the HFD on the onset or progression of PD. In Chapter 7, we suggest that the documented impact of HFD on neuroinflammation may be mediated by the gut microbiome in the 6-OHDA rat model of PD and it is independent of peripheral inflammation. The knowledge of the basic mechanisms underlying PD and their relationship with changes in lifestyle can help scientists to better understand the factors that trigger the onset of the disease and aid the development of new treatments and diagnostic tools. These studies can help reveal of the interaction between behavior, microbiota, dopaminergic and purinergic response, and inflammation in the gut and the brain. Tentativas est?o sendo feitas para encontrar uma cura ou pelo menos um tratamento melhor que possa retardar a progress?o da doen?a de Parkinson (DP), mas, recentemente, nenhuma interven??o foi descoberta. Uma melhor compreens?o dos mecanismos b?sicos que est?o por tr?s dessa doen?a ? de grande import?ncia para o desenvolvimento de novos medicamentos. Fatores do estilo de vida, como a dieta, podem influenciar diversos mecanismos biol?gicos envolvidos na DP, como o sistema purin?rgico, o sistema dopamin?rgico, a neuroinflama??o e a microbiota. Nesta tese, esses fatores ser?o explorados em diferentes modelos animais. No Cap?tulo 2, a intera??o dos receptores de adenosina com os receptores dopamin?rgicos e o papel potencial dos ligantes do receptor de adenosina no tratamento da DP s?o revisados. Neste cap?tulo, a rela??o potencial da adenosina com o estilo de vida e o diabetes tamb?m ? discutida. No Cap?tulo 3, investigamos a intera??o de receptores purin?rgicos e dopamin?rgicos em um modelo de DP em peixe-zebra. Ap?s inje??o intra-encef?lica de 6-OHDA, o peixe-zebra apresentou altera??es comportamentais e ligeiro efeito no sistema dopamin?rgico. No Cap?tulo 4, investigamos a viabilidade da imagem PET in vivo em peixes-zebra adultos saud?veis e em um modelo de inflama??o do peixe-zebra. Este estudo demonstrou que a imagem PET in vivo com 18F-FDG e 18F-NaF em peixes-zebra vivos ? vi?vel e diferen?as na capta??o podem ser vistas em um modelo de inflama??o. No Cap?tulo 5, analisamos o impacto de uma dieta de cafeteria no sistema de recompensa em ratos. Nosso estudo sugere que os receptores D2 desempenham um papel na obesidade e no consumo de uma dieta de cafeteria, mas nenhuma altera??o ap?s o desafio foi observada. Para elucidar a influ?ncia de uma dieta rica em gordura (HFD) na progress?o da DP, investigamos o efeito de uma HFD sobre a disponibilidade de receptores D2 e par?metros comportamentais em ratos, no Cap?tulo 6. A HFD agravou o dano no modelo de DP, sugerindo um papel prejudicial do HFD no in?cio ou na progress?o da DP. No Cap?tulo 7, sugerimos que o impacto documentado da HFD na neuroinflama??o pode ser mediado pela microbiota intestinal no modelo de DP utilizando 6-OHDA em ratos e este ? independente da inflama??o perif?rica. O conhecimento dos mecanismos b?sicos subjacentes ? DP e sua rela??o com as mudan?as no estilo de vida pode ajudar os cientistas a entender melhor os fatores que desencadeiam o aparecimento da doen?a e no desenvolvimento de novos tratamentos e ferramentas de diagn?stico. Esses estudos podem ajudar a revelar a intera??o entre comportamento, microbiota, resposta dopamin?rgica e purin?rgica e inflama??o no intestino e no c?rebro.

- Abstract
Background: Individuals at 80 years of age or above with exceptional memory are considered SuperAgers (SA), an operationalized definition of successful cognitive aging. SA showed increased thickness and altered functional connectivity in the anterior cingulate cortex as a neurobiological signature. However, their metabolic alterations are yet to be uncovered., Objective: Herein, a metabolic (FDG-PET), amyloid (PIB-PET), and functional (fMRI) analysis of SA were conducted., Methods: Ten SA, ten age-matched older adults (C80), and ten cognitively normal middle-aged (C50) adults underwent cognitive testing and multimodal neuroimaging examinations. Anterior and posterior regions of the cingulate cortex and hippocampal areas were primarily examined, then subregions of anterior cingulate were segregated., Results: The SA group showed increased metabolic activity in the left and right subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sACC, p < 0.005 corrected, bilateral) and bilateral hippocampi (right: p < 0.0005 and left: p < 0.005, both corrected) as compared to that in the C80 group. Amyloid deposition was above threshold in 30% of SA and C80 (p > 0.05). The SA group also presented decreased connectivity between right sACC and posterior cingulate (p < 0.005, corrected) as compared to that of the C80 group., Conclusion: These results support the key role of sACC and hippocampus in SA, even in the presence of amyloid deposition. It also suggests that sACC may be used as a potential biomarker in older adults for exceptional memory ability. Further longitudinal studies measuring metabolic biomarkers may help elucidate the interaction between these areas in the cognitive aging process.
