Orexin/Hypocretin: A Neuropeptide at the Interface of Sleep, Energy Homeostasis, and Re... - 0 views

  •  
    great read on orexins!  Orexins play a role in feeding and in sleep/wake cycle. Orexins interact with the limbic system to play a role in reward.

ScienceDirect.com - Physiology & Behavior - Effects of leptin and orexin-A on food inta... - 0 views

  • orexin-A and orexin-B, localized in the posterior and lateral hypothalamic perifornical region were discovered in the rat brain and they increase food intake
  • Leptin, a protein encoded by an obesity gene, expressed in adipose tissue and released into the blood also affects food intake
  •  
    Leptin and orexins regulate appetite regulate food intake.

Ghrelin-Induced Food Intake Is Mediated via the Orexin Pathway - 0 views

  • Ghrelin, a peptide produced in the stomach and hypothalamus, stimulates feeding and GH secretion
  • Centrally administered ghrelin exerts an orexigenic activity through the neuropeptide Y (NPY)
  • though ghrelin is predominantly produced in endocrine cells of the stomach (17, 18), it is also synthesized in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (1, 19), a critical region for feeding
  •  
    ghrelin stimulates feeding through orexin signaling.

ingentaconnect The Role of Orexin System in Antipsychotics Induced Weight Gain - 0 views

  • The orexins modulate feeding behavior, some metabolic processes and arousal.
  •  
    antipsychotics are associated with significant weight gain.  One proposed mechanism is the increased activation of orexin neurons in the areas of the brain (lateral hypothalamus and perifornical area) that regulate eating.  Amphetamines stimulate the same, just a drastically reduced levels

ScienceDirect - Cell Metabolism : Orexin Turns Up the Heat on Obesity - 0 views

  •  
    orexin, a neuropeptide, plays important role in brown fat differentiation.  Brown fat is important thermogenesis, producing heat from fat burning.

Cell Metabolism - Orexin Is Required for Brown Adipose Tissue Development, Differentiat... - 0 views

  •  
    orexin plays a role in weight gain through regulation of brown fat differentiation.  Low brown fat predisposes one to obesity.  Higher brown fat increases metabolism and thus increases fat burning capacity

Neuron - Activation of Central Orexin/Hypocretin Neurons by Dietary Amino Acids - 0 views

  •  
    non-essential amino acids are beneficial in preventing those afternoon energy slumps.  Sugar with its resultant insulin spike would make this worse.
