CSF hypocretin-1 levels are normal in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

open access: yesAmyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, 2008
Hypocretin (orexin) neurotransmission is not only crucially involved in the regulation of sleep and wake, but serves in multiple autonomic and cognitive functions as well. This is reflected in the widespread connections between the hypothalamic hypocretin neurons and the rest of the brain, such as dense projections to the frontal cortex.

Utility of measuring CSF hypocretin-1 level in patients with suspected narcolepsy

open access: yes, 2020
Objectives: The patho-aetiology of narcolepsy Type I (NT1) is the loss of hypocretin-1 secreting neurons in the hypothalamus. Diagnostic criteria for NT1 include excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) for at least three months not explained by any other ...

Attenuated orexinergic signaling underlies sleep–wake problems in a Mecp2-null mouse model of Rett syndrome

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder mainly caused by mutations in the X-linked gene encoding methyl-CpG–binding protein 2 (MeCP2).

The hypocretin system and psychiatric disorders.

open access: yes, 2014
The hypocretin system is constituted by a small group of hypothalamic neurons with widespread connections within the entire central nervous system producing two neuropeptides involved in several key physiological functions such as the regulation of sleep

Normal hypocretin-1 (orexin-A) levels in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Huntington's disease

open access: yes, 2005
A significant atrophy and loss of hypocretin neurons in the brains of human patients with Huntington's disease (HD) and in R6/2 mice have been reported. We included 10 patients with HD and 12 patients with chorea-like hyperkinetic movement disorders (non-

Increased hypocretin-1 levels in cerebrospinal fluid after REM sleep deprivation

open access: yes, 2004
Rat cisternal (CSF) hypocretin-1 in cerebrospinal fluid was measured after 6 or 96 It of REM sleep deprivation and following 24 It of REM sleep rebound. REM deprivation was found to increase CSF hypocretin-1 collected at zeitgeber time (ZT) 8 but not ZT0.

Biomarkers and genetic factors beyond hypocretin-1 in the diagnostics of narcolepsy

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Sciences
Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep-wake disorder usually diagnosed by polysomnography, multiple sleep latency testing, and laboratory assessment. One such laboratory approach involves measuring hypocretin-1 in cerebrospinal fluid.
