Hypocretins (orexins) are recently discovered hypothalamic neuropeptides that have been implicated in the etiology of narcolepsy. The normal behavioral functions of these peptides are unclear, although a role in feeding has been suggested. We measured hypocretin-1 (Hcrt-1) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of dogs during a variety of behaviors. We found that 48 hours without food (24 hours beyond normal 24-h fasting period) produced no significant change in Hcrt-1 levels, nor did feeding after the deprivation. In contrast, 24 hours of sleep deprivation produced on average a 70% increase in Hcrt-1 level compared to baseline levels. The amount of increase was correlated with the level of motor activity during the sleep deprivation procedure. A 2-hour period of exercise in the same dogs produced a 57% increase in Hcrt-1 levels relative to quiet waking levels, with the magnitude of the increase being highly correlated with the level of motor activity. The strong correlation between motor activity and Hcrt-1 release may explain some of the previously reported behavioral, physiological and pathological phenomena ascribed to the Hcrt system.
