Differential Roles of Each Orexin Receptor Signaling in Obesity
Summary: Orexins are hypothalamic neuropeptides that regulate feeding, energy expenditure, and sleep. Although orexin-deficient mice are susceptible to obesity, little is known about the roles of the orexin receptors in long-term energy metabolism. Here,

Narcolepsy and rapid eye movement sleep
Summary Since the first description of narcolepsy at the end of the 19th Century, great progress has been made. The disease is nowadays distinguished as narcolepsy type 1 and type 2. In the 1960s, the discovery of rapid eye movement sleep at sleep onset led to improved understanding of core sleep‐related disease symptoms of the disease (excessive ...

Ageing‐related modification of sleep and breathing in orexin‐knockout narcoleptic mice
Summary Narcolepsy type‐1 (NT1) is a lifelong sleep disease, characterised by impairment of the orexinergic system, with a typical onset during adolescence and young adulthood. Since the wake–sleep cycle physiologically changes with ageing, this study aims to compare sleep patterns between orexin‐knockout (KO) and wild type (WT) control mice at ...

Central orexin A has site-specific effects on luteinizing hormone release in female rats
Orexin A stimulates GnRH release from hypothalamic explants in vitro. The sites of action of orexin A in the regulation of LH release have been investigated in vivo in ovariectomized rats that were given vehicle or estradiol benzoate (EB), with or ...

Profiling the sleep architecture of ageing adults using a seven‐state continuous‐time Markov model
Summary Sleep is a complex biological process regulated by networks of neurons and environmental factors. As one falls asleep, neurotransmitters from sleep–wake regulating neurones work in synergy to control the switching of different sleep states throughout the night. As sleep disorders or underlying neuropathology can manifest as irregular switching,
