Olfactory dysfunction in patients with narcolepsy with cataplexy is restored by intranasal Orexin A (Hypocretin-1)

Abstract

Until recently, olfactory dysfunction was an unknown feature of narcolepsy. Orexin A, also called hypocretin-1, is abnormally decreased or undetectable in the cerebrospinal fluid of narcoleptic patients with cataplexies. As hypothalamic orexin-containing neurons project throughout the entire olfactory pathway, from the olfactory mucosa to the olfactory cortex, disturbed orexinergic transmission may crucially be involved in impaired olfactory performance of narcolepsy patients. In our study we analysed the olfactory performance (threshold, discrimination, identification and sum score of these measurements, the TDI score) of narcoleptic patients with cataplexies (n = 10) and of age-, gender-, BMI- and smoker/non-smoker-matched healthy controls (n = 10). We then in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled cross-over design applied orexin A intranasally to seven of the patients and measured 2-phenyl-ethyl alcohol (PEA) single-staircase odour detection thresholds. Compared to the controls, patients showed significantly lower scores for olfactory threshold (patients: median 8.0, range 4.0-10.5; controls: median 9.4, range 7.5-13.3; P < 0.05), discrimination (patients: median 12.5, range 10-15; controls: median 15.0, range 12-16...Continue Reading
