Microglial cells have a protective function and are essentially immunocytes present in the central nervous system. Activation of microglia results in the production of cytokines and trophic factors that can have a damaging or protective effect on brain cells. Orexin-A has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. Subcutaneous administration of orexin-A enhances the survival of mice with lipopolysaccharide-induced endotoxin shock, reducing the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of orexin-A administered intraventricularly on the morphological characteristics of microglial cells activated by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). With the introduction of lLPS, there is a change in the number of microglial cells in the somatosensory cortex, as well as in their morphology. When these indicators were analyzed after administration of orexin-A to animals against the background of LPS stimulation, no changes were detected.
