[Endocrine and metabolic disorders in anorexia nervosa. Their meaning].
The authors distinguish among the hormonal and metabolic disturbances found in Anorexia nervosa those, numerous, which are the results of emaciation only, and others which could be signs of central neuro-chemical dysregulation. The disturbances of the gonadotropic function and of the control of the "hunger-fattening" phenomena are probably of the latter type; however the nature of those dysfunctions and of their corresponding neuro-mediators remain so far hypothetical.
