Leptin [ELISA: SMD (95% CI): -3.03 (-4, -2.06)], radioimmunoassay [RIA: -3.84 (-4.71, -2.98)] and resistin [-1.67 (-2.85, -0.48)] were significantly lower in patients with AN compared with controls, whereas visfatin decrease did not reach significance (-2.03 (-4.38, 0.3).
We sought to: a) synthesize the available evidence on potential differences between AN patients and controls with regards to adipokine measurements (namely, leptin, adiponectin, resistin, soluble leptin receptor, visfatin, vaspin and omentin), b) estimate the potential differences between constitutionally thin (CT) subjects and AN patients, and c) present the available evidence with regards to biomarker efficacy of adipokines in AN.
Leptin [ELISA: SMD (95% CI): -3.03 (-4, -2.06)], radioimmunoassay [RIA: -3.84 (-4.71, -2.98)] and resistin [-1.67 (-2.85, -0.48)] were significantly lower in patients with AN compared with controls, whereas visfatin decrease did not reach significance (-2.03 (-4.38, 0.3).
Our results highlight differential methylation of the OXTR gene among women with AN, those in remission from AN, and those who never hadAN and provide some evidence of associations between OXTR methylation and social behaviour in women remitted from AN.
Protein expression in PBMCs of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and the activated forms of the mitogen-activated protein kinases p38 and ERK were also increased in the AN group.
These changes, supported by altered mRNA levels of genes coding for enzymes involved in eiCs-related methabolic pathways (i.e., PLA<sub>2</sub>, COX-2, 5-LOX and 15-LOX), underlie a widespread brain dysregulation of pro- and anti-inflammatory eiC-mediated processes in the ABA model of AN.
Balanced sporting activity should be considered a resource in the treatment of eating disorders (ED), in particular of the BED and in obesity but also, if conducted and guided by expert preparers and rehabilitators, in some forms of anorexia and in bulimia.</p> Objective: However, when physical activity becomes compulsive, an end in itself and which interferes predominantly in daily activities, aimed essentially at energy consumption to force weight loss up to marked decay, it becomes a pathological instrument, an elimination course, a form purging and falls within the diagnostic criteria in bulimia and anorexia nervosa.
Components of the biochemical inflammatory response (COX-2, PGE<sub>2</sub>, TBARS, 15d-PGJ<sub>2</sub>, ERK, p65 NFκB) and glucocorticoid receptor -GR- expression and the scores on the impulsivity measures in the BARRATT, EDI and BITE questionnaires showed a significant correlation within the AN patients group.

Plasma levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β were significantly increased in patients with AN, while the levels of prostaglandins PGE<sub>2</sub> (proinflammatory) and 15d-PGJ<sub>2</sub>, (anti-inflammatory) were lower compared with controls.
