Objective The association between adipokine dysregulation and weight loss of patients with
anorexia nervosa (AN) has been long investigated, in search of a causal relationship. We …

Low leptin levels are an endocrinological hallmark of acute anorexia nervosa (AN); a
subthreshold leptin secretion in adipocytes as a consequence of a reduced energy intake is …

Introduction: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is an eating disorder characterised with extremely low
weight. Adipokines are adipose tissue-derived substances that show a wide spectrum of …

INTRODUCTION: In food-restricted rats, leptin as well as corticotropin releasing factor
attenuate semistarvation-induced hyperactivity (SIH). Results from studies in patients with …

Context Data regarding serum adipocytokine and ghrelin concentrations in different stages
of anorexia nervosa (AN) is conflicting. Objective Our aim is to determine serum …

Background Leptin, a hormone secreted by adipose tissue, appears to play a major role in
the homeostasis of body weight and psychobiological processes associated with anorexia …

Adipose tissue secretes a large number of physiologically active peptides that often share
structural properties with cytokines, and are therefore collectively referred to as” …

Introduction Psychological and neuroendocrine alterations are typical characteristics in
anorexia nervosa patients. The role of adipokines and cytokines as mediators of body …

Objective To measure serum leptin concentrations in women with anorexia nervosa (AN)
and to identify independent predictors of leptin levels, thereby allowing hormone levels to be …

High physical activity (PA) in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) is hypothesized to be, at
least in part, a consequence of hypoleptinemia. However, most studies on the association of …
