Neuropeptides produced by lateral hypothalamic neurons that regulate wakefulness, appetite, and energy balance. Orexin signaling stabilizes the sleep-wake cycle and maintains alertness. Deficiency causes narcolepsy.
Neural Network
Nootropic peptides enhance synaptic plasticity and neurotransmitter release.
Quickstart Highlights
- Dosage: 2-5mg weekly (research)
- Frequency: Per plan
- Administration: Intranasal or subcutaneous
- Cycle length: Investigational
