Why the study?
Although circulating adiponectin increases in anorexia nervosa and caloric restriction, the effect of subtypes of anorexia nervosa and modifiers of adiponectin in anorexia nervosa were unknown.
Are adiponectin levels increased in patients with anorexia nervosa and its subtypes compared to healthy controls?
Are adiponectin levels increased in patients with anorexia nervosa and its subtypes compared to healthy controls?
Adiponectin levels are significantly elevated in anorexia nervosa and its clinical subtypes compared to healthy controls, with levels modified by metabolic and pro-inflammatory parameters.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Elevated adiponectin may aid metabolic assessment in anorexia nervosa; confirms subtype consistency and extends evidence on inflammatory modulation.
