Boys and Girls

Orexin A and its receptor 1 are expressed in the human prostate.
Overall, our results definitely demonstrate the expression of OXA and OX1R in the human prostate, and suggest an active role for them in the metabolism of the gland.
Serum orexin-A level decreases in policystic ovarian syndrome.
The serum OXA levels were lower in the women with PCOS compared to the control group. The serum OXA levels were correlated negatively with systolic blood pressure, the Ferriman-Gallway score and LH and free testosterone levels.
