Mochizuki, Takatoshi, Elizabeth B. Klerman, Takeshi Sakurai, and Thomas E. Scammell. Elevated body temperature during sleep in orexin knockout mice. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 291: R533–R540, 2006. First published March 23, 2006; doi:10.1152/ajpregu.00887.2005.— Core body temperature (Tb) is influenced by many physiological factors, including behavioral state, locomotor activity, an...
Orexin A (OxA), a recently discovered neuropeptide, is synthesized mainly by neurons located in the posterolateral hypothalamus and is a 33 amino acid peptide with N-terminal pyroglutamyl residue and two inter-chain disulfide bonds. It is a potent agonist for both the orexin-1 (OxR1) and orexin-2 (OxR2) receptors. Orexin A and its receptors are widely distributed in the central nervous system (...
Introduction: It has been shown that orexin peptides have a role in opioid withdrawal behaviors. Orexin-expressing neurons that are present in the hypothalamic nuclei send dense projections to the Locus Coeruleus (LC). Withdrawal syndrome is temporally associated with hyperactivity of LC neurons. However, LC neurons do not show withdrawalinduced hyperactivity in the brain slices from morphine-d...
The orexins are produced in neurons of the lateral hypothalamic area and implicated in the regulation of both feeding and reproductive function. Orexins stimulate LH secretion in steroid-primed ovariectomized female rats and suppress LH secretion in nonprimed ovariectomized rats. The aim of the present study was to characterize the neuroanatomical pathway by which orexin might modulate LH secre...
Neurons in the lateral hypothalamus (LH) that contain hypocretin/orexin have been established as important promoters of arousal. Deficiencies in the hypocretin/orexin system lead to narcolepsy. The inhibition of hypocretin/orexin neurons by sleep-promoting neurotransmitters has been suggested as one part of the sleep regulation machinery. Adenosine has been identified as a sleep promoter and it...
Depression is associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, although the molecular mechanism behind the pathological link remains unclear. Orexin, a hypothalamic neuropeptide regulating energy and glucose homeostasis, has been implicated in the endogenous antidepressant mechanism. To clarify whether orexin is involved in the coordination between mental and metabolic functions, we inve...
The orexin-A/hypocretin-1 and orexin-B/hypocretin-2 are neuropeptides synthesized by a cluster of neurons in the lateral hypothalamus and perifornical area. Orexin neurons receive a variety of signals related to environmental, physiological and emotional stimuli, and project broadly to the entire CNS. Orexin neurons are "multi-tasking" neurons regulating a set of vital body functions, including...
A hypothalamic neuropeptide orexin (hypocretin) is a critical regulator of physiological processes including sleep/wakefulness and feeding. Using organotypic slice culture of rat hypothalamus, we found that exposure to elevated extracellular concentration of K(+) (+10-30 mM) for 24-72h led to a substantial decrease in the number of neurons immunoreactive for orexin and a co-existing neuropeptid...
Orexin/hypocretin peptide mutations are rare in humans. Even though human narcolepsy is associated with orexin deficiency, this is only extremely rarely due to mutations in the gene coding prepro-orexin, the precursor for both orexin peptides. In contrast, coding and non-coding variants of the OX1 and OX2 orexin receptors have been identified in many human populations; sometimes, these have bee...
Orexin A and B are multifunctional neuropeptides that are involved in the regulation of food intake, energy metabolism, glucose regulation and wakefulness. They signal through two G-protein‑coupled receptors (GPCR): orexin receptor 1 (OX1R) and orexin receptor 2 (OX2R). Previous studies have shown that orexins interact with PI3K/AKT signaling pathways through OX1R-coupling in other cell types, ...
