Role of orexin receptors in histamine- and chloroquine-induced pruriceptive processing
Neuroscience ResearchIt is known that orexin peptides are involved in nociceptive processing, while little is known about the roles of these peptides in itch processing. To reveal the functions of orexin peptides in pruriceptive processing, orexin A (OX-A) and orexin B (OX-B)

Inhibition of Food Intake by PACAP in the Hypothalamic Ventromedial Nuclei is Mediated by NMDA Receptors [PDF]
, 2014 Central injections of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) into the ventromedial nuclei (VMN) of the hypothalamus produce hypophagia that is dependent upon the PAC1 receptor; however, the signaling downstream of this receptor in the

Expression of Orexin A and its Receptor 1 in the Epididymis of the South American Camelid Alpaca (Vicugna pacos). [PDF]
, 2013 Orexins A (ox A) and B are two peptides originally discovered in neurons of rat hypothalamus, and later found in different cellular types of the gastrointestinal and genital tracts. They arise from the proteolytic cleavage of a common precursor molecule,

Differential roles of orexin receptors in the regulation of sleep/wakefulness
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2013 Orexin A and orexin B are hypothalamic neuropeptides that play critical roles in the regulation of sleep/wakefulness, as well as in a variety of physiological functions such as emotion, reward, and energy homeostasis.

Narcolepsy and rapid eye movement sleep
Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.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 ...

The role of orexins/hypocretins in alcohol use and abuse: an appetitive-reward relationship [PDF]
, 2012 Orexins (hypocretins) are neuropeptides synthesized in neurons located in the lateral (LH), perifornical, and dorsomedial (DMH) hypothalamus. These neurons innervate many regions in the brain and modulate multiple other neurotransmitter systems.
