abstract = {Sleep deprivation and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)
effectively ameliorate symptoms in major depressive disorder
(MDD). In rodents, both are associated with an enhancement
of cerebral adenosine levels, which in turn likely influence
adenosinergic receptor expression. The aim of the current
study was to investigate cerebral A1 adenosine receptor
(A1AR) availability in patients with MDD as a potential
mediating factor of antidepressant effects of ECT using
[18F]CPFPX and positron emission tomography (PET).Regional
A1AR availability was determined before and after a series
of ECT applications (mean number ± SD 10.4 ± 1.2) in 14
subjects (4 males, mean age 49.5 ± 11.8 years). Clinical
outcome, measured by neuropsychological testing, and ECT
parameters were correlated with changes in A1AR
availability.ECT had a strong antidepressive effect
(p < 0.01) while on average cerebral A1AR availability
remained unaltered between pre-and post-ECT conditions
(F = 0.65, p = 0.42, mean difference ± SD $3.93\%$
± $22.7\%).$ There was no correlation between changes in
clinical outcome parameters and regional A1AR availability,
although individual patients showed striking bidirectional
alterations of up to $30–40\%$ in A1AR availability after
ECT. Solely, for the mean seizure quality index of the
applied ECTs a significant association with changes in A1AR
availability was found (rs = −0.6, p = 0.02).In
the present study, therapeutically effective ECT treatment
did not result in coherent changes of A1AR availability
after a series of ECT treatments. These findings do not
exclude a potential role for cerebral A1ARs in ECT, but
shift attention to rather short-termed and adaptive
mechanisms during ECT-related convulsive effects.},
