Bulimia Nervosa Patients Have Abnormal Ghrelin and PYY Responses to Meals
Women with bulimia nervosa showed blunted ghrelin suppression and altered PYY responses after meals compared to controls, suggesting disrupted gut-brain appetite signaling contributes to binge-eating cycles.
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
Bulimia nervosa patients demonstrated blunted post-meal ghrelin suppression and altered PYY3-36 response compared to healthy controls, indicating disrupted gut peptide satiety signaling that may perpetuate the binge-purge cycle.
