Hipótese glutamatérgica da esquizofrenia

Abstract: IntroduçãoA esquizofrenia é um transtorno psiquiátrico devastador que acomete aproximadamente 1% da população ao longo da vida. Os indivíduos geralmente são acometidos no auge do seu potencial produtivo e o curso da doença é crônico e debilitante. Apesar dos progressos no tratamento da esquizofrenia, como a introdução de antipsicóticos atípicos, as medicações continuam sendo bastante limitadas na sua eficácia clínica.1 Poucos são os indivíduos que voltam a ter o funcionamento compatível com as expectativas pré… Show more

“…This hypothesis postulates that the dopaminergic hyperfunction is based on the following evidences: 1) psychotic symptoms presented by patients using drugs that induce dopamine release; 2) efficacy of typical antipsychotics in many patients [2] via action on dopamine D 2 -like receptors [3,4]. However, the basis of the dopaminergic hypothesis has been questioned in some studies which demonstrated that a certain level (> 65%) of receptor blockade is necessary [5,6], but not sufficient to cause clinical results [3]. Some atypical antipsychotics are efficient in the schizophrenia treatment, although they block a lower number of dopamine receptors (< 60%) [7,8].…”

“…The glutamatergic system has several receptors that are activated by glutamate [11]. Among these, the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are especially important for the understanding of the illness [3].…”

“…Os receptores de glutamato podem ser divididos em duas grandes categorias: receptores NMDA (N-metil-D-aspartato) que são ionotrópicos e os não-NMDA que são metabotrópicos . Os receptores glutamatérgicos do tipo NMDA são neuroreceptores sofisticados, essenciais para a plasticidade neuronal, incluindo os mecanismos de "potenciação de longo prazo" (LTP), sinaptogenesis e excitotoxicidade [20].…”

“…De uma maneira geral, pode-se afirmar que existam duas hipóteses opostas, mas não totalmente contraditórias, de como o glutamato estaria envolvido na esquizofrenia: {i} hipótese da hipofunção glutamatérgica e {ii} hipótese da hiperfunção glutamatérgica [20,24].…”
