We examined the effects of centrally administered orexin-A on corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF)-containing neurons in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and the central amygdaloid nucleus (CeA) of rats, using dual immunostaining for CRF and Fos. Ninety minutes after intracerebroventricular administration of orexin-A, approximately 96% and 45% of CRF-containing neurons expressed Fos-like immunoreactivity (LI) in the PVN and the CeA, respectively. We also examined the effects of immobilized stress and cold exposure on orexin-A-containing neurons in the rat hypothalamus using dual immunostaining for orexin-A and Fos. After immobilized stress for 20 min and cold exposure at 4 degrees C for 30 min, approximately 24% and 15% of orexin-A-containing neurons expressed Fos-LI, respectively. These results suggest that orexins in the central nervous system may be involved in the activation of central CRF neurons induced by stress.
