Prospective evaluation of leptin and neuropeptide Y (NPY) serum levels in girls with anorexia nervosa.

Oświecimska J, Ziora K, Geisler G, Broll-Waśka K.

Journal Article 2005; 26(4): 301-304 PubMed PMID: 16136022 Keywords: Adolescent, Amenorrhea:blood, Anorexia Nervosa:blood, Appetite:physiology, Body Weight:physiology, Child, Energy Intake, Estradiol:blood, Female, Follicle Stimulating Hormone:blood, Humans, Hydrocortisone:blood, Leptin:blood, Luteinizing Hormone:blood, Ne.

OBJECTIVES: The pathogenesis of anorexia nervosa (AN) remains still unclear. It has been reported that neuropeptides may play a role in the control of appetite and hormone release contributing to hormonal disturbances in AN. However the question if neuropeptide alterations are consequence or cause of malnutrition is still unresolved.
