Serum cholesterol levels in anorexia nervosa.

Serum cholesterol levels in anorexia nervosa.

IN CONTRAST to earlier investigators (Pardee, 1941; Stephens, 1941; Emmanuel, 1956) more recent workers (Crisp, 1965a, 1967; Oberdisse, Solbach & Zimmerman, 1965; Klinefelter, 1965; Crisp & Stonehill, 1967) have reported that some of their patients with anorexia nervosa have high serum cholesterol levels. Crisp (1965a, b, 1967) in a study of eighty patients (Nos. 1-80) has also emphasized that ...

Serum Visfatin Levels in Patients with Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia

Chemerin serum levels in girls with anorexia nervosa.

BACKGROUND The regulatory function of chemerin (CHEM) in the process of adipogenesis and the metabolism of adipocytes has been confirmed. Data from several studies have shown higher serum CHEM in obesity. To date, there are no available studies on serum CHEM concentrations in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN), which is recognized as a good biological model of the chronic atrophy of adipose ti...

Serum visfatin levels in patients with anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.

Visfatin is an adipose tissue-derived hormone shown to correlate with visceral fat mass in patients with obesity. Its possible role in patients with different types of eating disorders is unknown. We measured fasting serum levels of visfatin and leptin and surrogate measures of insulin sensitivity in 10 untreated patients with anorexia nervosa (AN), 10 untreated patients with bulimia nervosa (B...

Diamine oxidase activity levels in anorexia nervosa.

OBJECTIVE Anorexia nervosa (AN) patients often experience gastrointestinal complications caused by their malnutrition. We hypothesized that intestinal integrity is disturbed in AN. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to investigate serum diamine oxidase (DAO) activity, which is considered to be a clinical indicator of the integrity of the intestinal mucosa, in AN patients. METHO...
