The authors concluded that in spontaneously hypertensive rats, orexin neurons in the dorsomedial hypothalamus might be overactive during eating palatable food and may further elicit exaggerated cardiovascular responses via an OX2R-rostral ventrolateral medulla pathway.

Results showed that the blockade of Ox1r and Ox2r in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) attenuated the effect of food deprivation (FD) on morphine reinstatement; however, they were more effective in FD condition. Findings indicate that the NAc is a brain area within which orexin has a fundamental role in the effect of stress on morphine-induced reinstatement and the effect of food deprivation- on the reinstatement of morphine.
Title: Role of the orexin receptors within the nucleus accumbens in the drug priming-induced reinstatement of morphine seeking in the food deprived rats.
Results suggest that both orexin-1 and -2 receptors in the nucleus accumbens are involved in the development of morphine-induced conditioned place preference. It seems that orexin-1 receptors in this region are more effective in development of drug seeking behaviors in the rats.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
