ABSTRACT
Introduction: A series of physiological changes occur in the cycle of sleep and wakefulness throughout the life of animals and
humans. They can be linked to changes in neurotransmission systems in the number of cells that are the mechanisms
regulating the phases of sleep and waking. The changes of sleep in the healthy elderly are similar to those reported in primary
or psychophysiological insomnia. The possibility that the system of neurotransmission of the purine, adenosine, is involved in
these changes was investigated in this paper where we used an animal model. F344 rats, males were evaluated with sleep logs
and challenges with caffeine and vehicle.
Material and methods: We studied three groups of animals: young rats (three
months), adult rats (10 months) and old rats (20 months) (N = 10 per group). They were operated and fixed electrodes were
placed in the skull and neck muscles to record chronic sleep. A week later, it was proceeded to record the baseline and then
proceeded to the pilot phase. This was done in two stages of experiments. Administration of caffeine without sleep deprivation
and administration of caffeine with sleep deprivation. Injections of caffeine (IP) in two doses (10 and 20 mg/kg) or vehicle
(saline) were made in all animals, with a week of separation maneuver. The injections were made at the beginning of the light
phase (7:00 h more sleep phase in rats) or dark phase (19:00 h phase of increased activity). Besides, the three groups were
subjected to sleep deprivation, and the administration of caffeine and placebo (this only during the beginning of darkness).
ResultsThe old rats were more sensitive to the type of stimulant effect of caffeine in both cases of injection into the darkness
or brightness, plus the pressure generated by the dream of sleep deprivation with caffeine was inhibited in both dose groups in
adult and old rats, but not the same thing happened in the youth who presented sleep rebound during the dark of an independent
in the dose of caffeine.
Conclusion: This could indicate ontogenic changes in the system to adenosine receptors, and that
these may be in decline in the number of these receptors or the mechanisms of second messengers.
