Functional cardiac orexin receptors: role of orexin-B/orexin 2 receptor in myocardial protection

Orexins/hypocretins exert cardiovascular effects which are centrally mediated. In the present study, we tested whether orexins and their receptors may also act in an autocrine/paracrine manner in the heart exerting direct effects.
