Abstract
⺠The orexinergic system is expressed in the lacrimal gland of sheep. ⺠OX1R transcript is two-fold higher than OX2R. ⺠Positive staining for OX1R is evidenced in the wall of small arteries. ⺠OX2R staining is localized in the secretory portion of the acinar gland cells. ⺠The orexinergic system might regulate the lacrimal gland function.
