Orexin-A represses satiety-inducing POMC neurons and contributes to obesity via stimulation of endocannabinoid signaling [PDF]
, 2017 In the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC), proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons and the POMC-derived peptide α–melanocytestimulating hormone (α-MSH) promote satiety. POMC neurons receive orexin-A (OX-A)-expressing inputs and express both OX-A receptor type

Context‐Dependent Temporal Changes in Hypnotics Involved in Suicide Attempts
Neuropsychopharmacology Reports, Volume 46, Issue 2, June 2026.Temporal changes in hypnotics involved in suicide attempts showed context‐dependent shifts. Dual orexin receptor antagonists increased significantly, while benzodiazepine involvement declined only in overdose‐related attempts. Melatonin receptor agonists showed no significant trend during 2020.

NAD+‒circadian rhythm coupling in dementia
Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract The circadian rhythm system and sleep coordinate whole‐body functions across the 24‐h cycle, yet these rhythms progressively deteriorate with neurodegenerative diseases, including dementia. Growing evidence indicates that nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) interacts with the circadian system through multiple molecular pathways and that ...

Inhibition of REV-ERBs stimulates microglial amyloid-beta clearance and reduces amyloid plaque deposition in the 5XFAD mouse model of Alzheimer\u27s disease [PDF]
, 2020 A promising new therapeutic target for the treatment of Alzheimer\u27s disease (AD) is the circadian system. Although patients with AD are known to have abnormal circadian rhythms and suffer sleep disturbances, the role of the molecular clock in ...
