Orexin receptor 2 agonist activates diaphragm and genioglossus muscle through stimulating inspiratory neurons in the pre-Bötzinger complex, and phrenic and hypoglossal motoneurons in rodents.
Orexin-mediated stimulation of orexin receptors 1/2 (OX[1/2]R) may stimulate the diaphragm and genioglossus muscle via activation of inspiratory neurons in the pre-Bötzinger complex, which are critical for the generation of inspiratory rhythm, and phrenic and hypoglossal motoneurons. Herein, we asse...
