| Research Abstract |
The superior salivatory nucleus(SSN) neurons which is the primary parasympathetic center of the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands in rats were excited by orexins, one of feeding-related peptides, from lateral hypothalamic neurons(feeding center). The excitation in SSN neurons was completely inhibited by antagonists for OX1R and OX2R, orexins receptors subtypes. Additionally, SSN neurons showed immunoreactivities for OX1R and OX2R, suggesting that the excitation is mediated by OX1R and OX2R. Orexin-induced excitation in SSN neurons may be involved in abundant salivation in feeding.
