plastics, epoxy resins, and polystyrene. Several studies have reported potent in vivo effects …

Lesioning and electrical stimulation experiments carried out during the first half of the
twentieth century showed that the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) is involved in the …

Appropriate nutritional and vigilance states are needed for reproduction. In previous works,
we described the influence of the hormonal milieu of proestrus on the orexinergic system …

Orexins A and B are neuropeptides which are synthesized mainly in the lateral
hypothalamus and are associated with a variety of physiological functions such as energy …

The orexins are neurohormones that, in concert with their cognate receptors, regulate a
number of important physiological processes, including feeding, sleep, reward seeking and …

An unexpected and fascinating aspect of the neuropeptides orexins has recently emerged
when it was shown that orexins acting at orexin receptors OX1R or OX2R induce dramatic …

Orexin A and B are hypothalamic peptides involved in the control of food intake, sleep
patterns, autonomic and neuroendocrine systems. The biological actions of orexins are …

The neuropeptides orexin A and B (hypocretin‐1 and‐2) are involved in numerous central
regulation processes such as energy homeostasis, sleeping behaviour and addiction. The …

Orexin A and B, also termed hypocretin 1 and 2, are associated with the stimulation of food
intake and arousal. The biological actions of the hormones are mediated via two distinct G …

Orexin A (OXA) and orexin B (OXB) are recently discovered neuropeptides that appear to
play a role in various distinct functions such as arousal and the sleep-wake cycle as well as …
