Neurobiology of the Orexin System and Its Potential Role in the Regulation of Hedonic Tone
Brain Sciences, 2022 Orexin peptides comprise two neuropeptides, orexin A and orexin B, that bind two G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), orexin receptor 1 (OXR1) and orexin receptor 2 (OXR2).

Activity of putative orexin neurons during cataplexy
Molecular Brain, 2022 It is unclear why orexin-deficient animals, but not wild-type mice, show cataplexy. The current hypothesis predicts simultaneous excitation of cataplexy-inhibiting orexin neurons and cataplexy-inducing amygdala neurons.

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 ...

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 &

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).

Orexin-A and Orexin-B During the Postnatal Development of the Rat Brain [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology, 2009 Orexin-A and orexin-B are hypothalamic neuropeptides isolated from a small group of neurons in the hypothalamus, which project their axons to all major parts of the central nervous system. Despite the extensive information about orexin expression and function at different parts of the nervous system in adults, data about the development and maturation ...

Hypothalamic kinin B1 receptor mediates orexin system hyperactivity in neurogenic hypertension
Scientific Reports, 2021 Brain orexin system hyperactivity contributes to neurogenic hypertension. We previously reported upregulated neuronal kinin B1 receptor (B1R) expression in hypertension.

Dexamethasone Chemotherapy Does Not Disrupt Orexin Signaling. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Steroid-induced sleep disturbance is a common and highly distressing morbidity for children receiving steroid chemotherapy for the treatment of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Sleep disturbance can negatively impact overall quality of life,
