Involvement of orexin neurons in fasting- and central adenosine-induced hypothermia
Abstract We examined whether orexin neurons might play a protective role against fasting- and adenosine-induced hypothermia. We first measured body temperature (BT) in orexin neuron-ablated (ORX-AB) mice and wild-type (WT) controls during 24 hours of fasting. As expected, the magnitude of BT drop an...
