PG - 292-302 LID - S1043-2760(23)00051-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.tem.2023.02.008 [doi] AB - Orexin (OX)A and OXB are a pair of neuropeptides secreted by orexin-producing neurons in the lateral hypothalamus. The orexin system can regulate many physiological processes through these two receptor pathways, such as feeding behavior, sleep/wake state, energy homeostasis, reward, and the coordination of emotion. Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) can coordinate upstream signals with downstream effectors, thereby regulating fundamental cellular processes and also plays an essential role in the signaling network downstream of the orexin system. In turn, the orexin system can activate mTOR. Here, we review the association of the orexin system with the mTOR signaling pathway mainly by discussing that drugs in various diseases exert their effects on the orexin system, indirectly affecting the mTOR signaling pathway.
