Orexin (hypocretin) and addiction

Trends in Neurosciences, 2021
Although originally implicated in appetite and sleep/wakefulness, the hypothalamic orexin (hypocretin) system has now been demonstrably linked with motivated behavior. This highly plastic system responds to reward-associated environmental stimuli and becomes pathologically overactive in addicted states. Here, we provide a brief overview of the roles of

Relationship between CSF hypocretin levels and hypocretin neuronal loss

Experimental Neurology, 2003
The sleep disorder narcolepsy may now be considered a neurodegenerative disease, as there is a massive reduction in the number of neurons containing the neuropeptide, hypocretin (HCRT). Most narcoleptic patients have low to negligible levels of HCRT in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and such measurements serve as an important diagnostic tool.

Narcolepsy and the hypocretins

Metabolism, 2006
Narcolepsy is a chronic neurologic disease characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and one or more of three additional symptoms (cataplexy, or sudden loss of muscle tone; vivid hallucinations; and brief periods of total paralysis) related to the occurrence of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep at inappropriate times.

The Hypocretin/Orexin Story

Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2000
Newly described peptides, produced in neurons in the lateral hypothalamic area, have been shown to stimulate appetite and stereotypic behaviors associated with feeding. Discovered independently by two groups, the hypocretins/orexins stimulate autonomic function and have been shown to be physiological regulators of the arousal state.

Orexins (Hypocretins) and Adrenal Function

Hormone and Metabolic Research, 2004
The recently discovered neuropeptides orexin A and B regulate feeding behavior, neuroendocrine and autonomic functions, and sleep-wakefulness by central mechanisms. The expression of orexins and orexin receptors in various peripheral organs and the presence of orexin A in blood indicate the existence of a peripheral orexin system.

Orexins/hypocretins and aminergic systems

Acta Physiologica, 2010
AbstractOrexin/hypocretin neurones in the posterior hypothalamus are mutually connected with noradrenergic, serotonergic, dopaminergic, histaminergic, and cholinergic neurone systems. They activate these targets by direct post‐synaptic and indirect pre‐synaptic mechanisms and in turn receive inhibitory feedback and excitatory feed forward control. With

Hypocretin/orexin and energy expenditure

Acta Physiologica, 2010
AbstractThe hypocretins or orexins are endogenous neuropeptides synthesized in discrete lateral, perifornical and dorsal hypothalamic neurones. These multi‐functional neuropeptides modulate energy homeostasis, arousal, stress, reward, reproduction and cardiovascular function.

The Hypocretin Story

2015
The main topic of this book stems from the discovery of two neuropeptides derived from the same precursor, conducted in parallel by two different groups (de Lecea et al. in Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 95:322–327, 1998; Sakurai et al. in Cell 92:573–585, 1998).
