    Journal: Brain Res; 1999 Mar 13; 821(2):535-8. PubMed ID: 10064843.
    Abstract:
    Orexin A and orexin B were microinjected into the perifornical hypothalamus (PFH), lateral hypothalamus (LH), hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), and ventral tegmental area (VTA) of male Sprague-Dawley rats. Orexin B (15 nmol) was also injected into the lateral cerebral ventricle (i.c.v.). Orexin A (>/=500 pmol) stimulated feeding in the PFH and LH, but not in the VTA or PVN. Orexin B stimulated feeding only when injected i.c.v.
