Anti‐Obesity Pharmacotherapy and Emerging Multimodal Interventions for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Cellular and molecular mechanisms of obesity‐related obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). ADMA: asymmetric dimethyrarginine, NLRP3: nucleotide‐binding domain, leucine‐rich repeat family, Pyrin domain containing 3, TLR: toll‐like receptors, IL‐1β: interleukin‐1β, IL‐6: interleukin‐6; LPS: lipopolysacharide, ROS: reactive oxygen species, TNF‐α.

Effect of orexin-B-saporin-induced lesions of the lateral hypothalamus on performance on a progressive ratio schedule [PDF]
It has been suggested that a sub-population of orexinergic neurones whose somata lie in the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) play an important role in regulating the reinforcing value of both food and drugs.

Abstract Objective A strong bidirectional relationship exists between epilepsy and sleep, with seizures often occurring more frequently in sleep and, in turn, sleep being disrupted by seizures. However, the mechanistic basis of seizure–sleep interactions is poorly understood.

Plasma Orexin-A Levels Do Not Undergo Circadian Rhythm in Young Healthy Male Subjects
Orexin-A (OXA) has been originally isolated from a precursor peptide prepro-orexin from the lateral hypothalamus. The orexin system has been attributed to important functions in sleep, arousal and regulation of energy homeostasis. In addition to its high

When the Scale Drops: Pathways to Weight Loss in Parkinson's Disease and Future Directions
Abstract Although Parkinson's disease (PD) is classically defined by its motor features, non‐motor symptoms exert a substantial and often under‐recognized influence on disease trajectory. Among these, weight loss has long been observed in PD and other neurodegenerative disorders, yet the mechanisms remain incompletely understood.

Advancing pharmacometrics in Africa—Transition from capacity development toward job creation
Abstract Trained pharmacometricians remain scarce in Africa due to limited training opportunities, lack of a pharmaceutical product development ecosystem, and emigration to high‐income countries. The Applied Pharmacometrics Training (APT) fellowship program was established to address these gaps and specifically foster job creation for talent retention.

Orexin receptor expression in human adipose tissue: effects of orexin-A and orexin-B [PDF]
Orexin-A and orexin-B, via their receptors orexin-1 receptor (OX1R) and orexin-2 receptor (OX2R) have been shown to play a role in the regulation of feeding, body weight, and energy expenditure. Adipose tissue also contributes significantly to the maintenance of body weight by interacting with a complex array of bioactive peptides; however, there are ...
