First seen Apr 18, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at whether the gut lining becomes more 'leaky' in women with anorexia nervosa due to severe malnutrition. Researchers measured intestinal permeability using sugar tests in 23 patients before and after refeeding, and compared them to 46 healthy controls. The goal was to understand how starvation affects gut health and whether refeeding can restore normal barrier function.
