Anorexia Nervosa Disrupts Gut Hormone Responses to Food in Children
Children with anorexia nervosa showed altered entero-insular axis responses to meals — abnormal GLP-1, insulin, and glucose patterns — suggesting gut-brain hormone disruption contributes to the disorder's maintenance.
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
Children with anorexia nervosa demonstrated disrupted entero-insular axis responses: abnormal GLP-1, insulin, glucose, and gut peptide dynamics after meals compared to healthy controls — gut hormone dysfunction may perpetuate the disease beyond psychological factors.
