Summary

This study takes stool samples from women with eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating) and from healthy women, then transplants the bacteria into mice. Researchers will track the mice's weight and eating habits to see if the gut microbes play a role in these conditions. The goal is to better understand the gut-brain connection in eating disorders.
