NCT ID NCT02812134

First seen May 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study explored how oral phosphorus supplements change levels of a hormone called FGF23 in 30 undernourished adolescents with anorexia. FGF23 helps control phosphate and calcium in the body. The goal was to understand the hormone's role during refeeding, not to treat the eating disorder itself.
