INTRODUCTION: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a fatal psychiatric disorder characterized by restricted eating, a pursuit of thinness, and obsessive fears of becoming fat.

During infection it is very common to lose one’s appetite (anorexia) and reduce nutrient intake. Anorexia is one of a group of symptoms collectively termed sickness behaviors, which in turn are a part of the acute-phase response (APR). The APR and its components, including anorexia, fever and iron sequestration, are induced by pro-inflammatory cytokines, e.g. interleukin-6, interleukin-1 and tu...
متن کاملAnorexia Nervosa The Neurobiology of Anorexia Nervosa
This article provides an overview of research findings on the neurobiology of anorexia nervosa (AN). including studies of monoamine neurotransmitter function, genetics, brain imaging, and neuropsychology. Such studies are designed to reveal the underlying neuroanatomical and pathophysiological bases of this potentially lethal condition. Notwithstanding commonly held misconceptions, there is no ...
متن کاملCerebral perfusion differences in women currently with and recovered from anorexia nervosa.
Anorexia nervosa is a serious psychiatric disorder characterized by restricted eating, a pursuit of thinness, and altered perceptions of body shape and size. Neuroimaging in anorexia nervosa has revealed morphological and functional alterations in the brain. A better understanding of physiological changes in anorexia nervosa could provide a brain-specific health marker relevant to treatment and...
متن کاملAberrant Cerebral Blood Flow in Response to Hunger and Satiety in Women Remitted from Anorexia Nervosa
The etiology of pathological eating in anorexia nervosa (AN) remains poorly understood. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is an indirect marker of neuronal function. In healthy adults, fasting increases CBF, reflecting increased delivery of oxygen and glucose to support brain metabolism. This study investigated whether women remitted from restricting-type AN (RAN) have altered CBF in response to hunger...
