Could a gut bug trigger eating disorders? scientists hunt for clues.
NCT ID NCT03510533
Summary
This study aimed to understand if the body's own immune system might be involved in eating disorders. Researchers tested blood and stool samples from over 200 patients with conditions like anorexia and bulimia, comparing them to healthy volunteers. They were looking for specific antibodies that might mistakenly target brain chemicals that control appetite, potentially linking gut bacteria to these disorders.
