Orexin-A and-B are neuropeptides that are implicated in the regulation of vigilance states
and energy homeostasis. Orexins are specifically produced by neurons located within the …

Orexin A injected into the lateral hypothalamus (LH) stimulates feeding and activates
neurons in brain sites regulating feeding and arousal. The feeding effects of orexin A have …

Orexin neurons are stimulated by conditions that are glucoprivic, suggesting that orexin
signaling may be increased during nutritional duress. We have previously shown that …

Lateral hypothalamic neuropeptides, orexins, have been recognized as one of the most
important regulators of sleep/wakefulness states. Besides, these peptides are also regarded …

Hypothalamic orexin neurons project to the hindbrain, and 4th-ventricle
intracerebroventricular (4th-icv) injection of orexin-A treatment increases food intake. We …

Orexin‐A and‐B (hypocretin‐1 and‐2) have been implicated in the stimulation of feeding.
Here we show the effector neurons and signaling mechanisms for the orexigenic action of …

Orexins (orexin-A and-B) are recently identified neuropeptides, which are thought to be
implicated in the regulation of feeding behavior. We used a NPY-Y1 receptor specific …

The hypothalamus plays a central role in the integrated control of feeding and energy
homeostasis. We have identified two novel neuropeptides, both derived from the same …

Orexins were initially recognized as regulators of feeding behavior due to their exclusively
production in the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA), a feeding center. Subsequently, the …

Orexins are hypothalamic peptides implicated in the regulation of ingestive and other
behaviours. Here we investigated prepro-orexin expression and hypothalamic orexin-A and …
