Immunohistochemistry was performed using floating mouse and rat brain sections fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde. Staining was completely abolished by preincubating the antiserum with control peptide at 10-6M. Staining is observed in the lateral hyothalamus. Unconjugated Orexin A Control Peptide has been included for use as an internal control for antibody specificity. This antibody has been tested to work in ELISA. Also available in purified form, Anti-Orexin A (14-33) (Ab-1) Rabbit pAb, Cat. No. PC345. Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.
Physical form
Serum or ascites diluted in 5 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.5 and 25 µg lyophilized control.
Preparation Note
Following initial thaw of antibody, aliquot and freeze (-20°C). Reconstitute control peptide with 25 µl dH₂O for a working stock of 1 mg/ml. Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-20°C).

The neuronal regulation of metabolic and behavioral responses to different diets and feeding regimens is an important research area. Herein, we investigated if the opioid peptide dynorphin modulates feeding behavior and metabolism. Mice lacking dynorphin peptides (KO) were exposed to

Immune challenges can lead to marked behavioral changes, including fatigue, reduced social interest, anorexia, and somnolence, but the precise neuronal mechanisms that underlie sickness behavior remain elusive. Part of the neurocircuitry influencing behavior associated with illness likely includes viscerosensory nuclei

Various stressors induce stress responses through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal and the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary axes, which are regulated, in part, by orexin. For example, secretion of orexin in the hypothalamus is increased in rats exposed to the stress of social isolation for 1

Orexin (hypocretin) neurons, located exclusively in the PeF-LH, which includes the perifornical area (PeF), the lateral hypothalamus (LH), and lateral portions of the medial hypothalamus, have widespread projections and influence many physiological functions, including the autonomic regulation of body temperature
