Orexinergic Input to Dopaminergic Neurons of the Human Ventral Tegmental Area [PDF]

, 2013
The mesolimbic reward pathway arising from dopaminergic (DA) neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) has been strongly implicated in reward processing and drug abuse.

Orexin A suppresses in vivo GH secretion [PDF]

European Journal of Endocrinology, 2004
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Orexins (OXs) are a newly described family of hypothalamic neuropeptides. Based on the distribution of OX neurons and their receptors in the brain, it has been postulated that they could play a role in the regulation of neuroendocrine function. GH secretion is markedly influenced by nutritional status and body weight.

Neuropeptides’ Hypothalamic Regulation of Sleep Control in Children Affected by Functional Non-Retentive Fecal Incontinence

Brain Sciences, 2020
Functional non-retentive fecal incontinence (FNRFI) is a common problem in pediatric age. FNRFI is defined as unintended loss of stool in a 4-year-old or older child after organic causes have been excluded.

Involvement of the Orexinergic System in Cancer: Antitumor Strategies and Future Perspectives

Applied Sciences, 2023
Peptides promote the mitogenesis and migration of tumor cells, and cancer cells overexpress peptide receptors. The involvement of the orexinergic system in cancer is reviewed here, including thirteen cancer types (e.g., adrenocortical adenoma, breast ...

Orexin-Corticotropin-Releasing Factor Receptor Heteromers in the Ventral Tegmental Area as Targets for Cocaine [PDF]

, 2015
Release of the neuropeptides corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and orexin-A in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) play an important role in stress-induced cocaine-seeking behavior.

Orexin A activates retrotrapezoid neurons in mice [PDF]

Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2011
The retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN), located at the ventral surface of the medulla oblongata, contains glutamatergic Phox2b-expressing interneurons that have central respiratory chemoreceptor properties. RTN also operates as a relay for hypothalamic pathways that regulate breathing, one of which probably originates from the orexinergic neurons (Dias et al.

Orexin-A exerts equivocal role in atherosclerosis process depending on the duration of exposure : in vitro study [PDF]

, 2019
Orexin-A is a peptide hormone that plays a crucial role in feeding regulation and energy homeostasis. Diurnal intermittent fasting (DIF) has been found to increase orexin-A plasma levels during fasting hours, while Ramadan fasting which resembles DIF ...

Evolution of Orexin Neuropeptide System: Structure and Function

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
Orexins are hypothalamic neuropeptides that were initially identified in the rat brain as endogenous ligands for an (previously) orphan G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR).

Presence of orexin A and orexin 1 receptor in the buffalo prostate

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010
The orexins A and B are two peptides discovered initially in the rat lateral hypothalamus involved in the regulation of some body functions such as food intake, sleep/wake cycle, arterial pressure and heart rate. They interact with two receptors defined &
