Alteration of the expression of the hypocretin (orexin) gene by 2-deoxyglucose in the rat lateral hypothalamic area.

Following an i.p. injection of 2-deoxyglucose (2DG), a nonmetabolizable analogue of glucose known to induce intracellular glucopenia, a progressive decrease in the level of hypocretin (Hcrt)/orexin mRNA was observed in the rat lateral hypothalamus while the melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) expression in neighbouring neurons remained unaffected. This result together with the previously reported stimulation of Hcrt expression by insulin confirms that Hcrt neurons, but not MCH neurons, are sensitive to glucose availability and suggests that they respond through different mechanisms and/or different pathways to intracellular glucopenia and hypoglycemic conditions.[1]
