Could gut bacteria trigger eating disorders? scientists investigate
NCT ID NCT03510533
Summary
This study aimed to understand if the body's immune system mistakenly attacks appetite-regulating brain chemicals in people with eating disorders. Researchers compared blood and stool samples from 211 people with conditions like anorexia or bulimia to samples from healthy volunteers. The goal was to test a theory that antibodies reacting to a specific gut bacteria protein might also disrupt natural appetite signals.
