Abstract
Orexins A (OXA) and B (OXB) (hypocretin 1 and 2) are neuropeptides produced in the brain and peripheral tissues. Biological activities of orexins are mediated through activation of two G-protein coupled receptors termed as orexin 1 receptor (OX1R) and orexin 2 receptor (OX1R). Orexin system (OXA, OXB, OX1R, OX2R) was implicated in controlling sleep, energy expenditure, appetite, reproduction as well as metabolism and energy homeostasis. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge regarding the role of the orexin system in controlling porcine physiology. Particularly, we review and discuss evidence indicating that in pig and other living organisms, orexins and their receptors modulate the energy homeostasis, reproduction as well as functions of peripheral tissues including the pancreas, adrenal glands, gastro-intestinal tract and adipose tissue.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology publishes papers which fall within the range of basic and applied physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology. The papers should illustrate new physiological or pharmacological mechanisms at the level of the cell membrane, single cells, tissues or organs. Clinical studies, that are of fundamental importance and have a direct bearing on the pathophysiology will also be considered. Letters related to articles published in The Journal with topics of general professional interest are welcome.
