Anorexia nervosa 1: appetite hormones
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 September 2013
In a nutshell
The balance of appetite-controlling neuropeptides undergoes significant change in anorexia nervosa. This is partly a response to semi-starvation, but there may be specific AN effects as well.
The hope is that this can be used to devise better laboratory tests for monitoring disease status or directly for treatment. However, we are not at that point yet.
