Summary
This study looks at specific fat molecules (sphingolipids) in the blood of women with anorexia nervosa. Researchers will compare these molecules between patients and healthy women, and see how they relate to hormone levels and mood. The goal is to find patterns that could lead to better diet plans and long-term treatment success.
