Leptin, neuropeptide Y, and peptide YY in long-term recovered eating disorder patients.

BACKGROUND: Disturbances of leptin, neuropeptide Y ( NPY), and peptide YY ( PYY) have been found in women who are ill with anorexia or bulimia nervosa. It is not certain whether peptide disturbances are cause or consequence of eating disorders. METHODS: Plasma leptin and cerebrospinal fluid leptin, NPY, and PYY concentrations were measured in women who were recovered from anorexia or bulimia nervosa to determine whether alterations persisted after recovery. RESULTS: NPY, PYY, and leptin concentrations were similar across all diagnostic groups. CONCLUSIONS: Alterations in NPY, PYY, and serum leptin concentrations are probably secondary to pathological eating behaviors. Alterations of these peptides are unlikely to be trait-related disturbances that contribute to the etiology of eating disorders.[1]
