T-lymphocyte cholecystokinin-8 and beta-endorphin concentrations in eating disorders: I. Anorexia nervosa.
    Psychiatry research, 1995, Nov-29, Volume: 59, Issue:1-2

    Baseline concentrations of cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8) and beta-endorphin (beta-EP) were measured in T-lymphocytes from 33 restricting patients with anorexia nervosa (AN-R), 23 binging/purging patients with anorexia nervosa (AN-BP), and 24 healthy volunteers. CCK-8 basal values were significantly lower and beta-EP values significantly higher in AN-R and AN-BP patients than in normal volunteers. Levels of the peptides were measured three more times during a 4-month combined cognitive-behavioral/psychopharmacological treatment (nortriptyline or fluoxetine in AN-R, fluoxetine or amineptine in AN-BP). CCK-8 values fluctuated (nonsignificantly) during each treatment, while beta-EP values decreased (to a significant degree only in fluoxetine-treated AN-R patients).

T-lymphocyte concentrations of cholecystokinin-8 and beta-endorphin in eating disorders: II. Bulimia nervosa.
    Psychiatry research, 1995, Nov-29, Volume: 59, Issue:1-2

    Concentrations of cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8) and beta-endorphin (beta-EP) in T-lymphocytes of 26 women with bulimia nervosa (BN) and in 26 age- and sex-matched healthy comparison subjects were measured. Ten patients were then treated with 300 mg/day of fluvoxamine, p.o., and five patients were treated with 300 mg/day of amineptine, p.o., for 4 months. Concentrations of the two peptides were measured again after 1, 2, and 4 months of therapy. Basal CCK-8 values were significantly lower in patients than in healthy subjects. During fluvoxamine therapy, CCK-8 values increased, reaching normal levels by month 4 of treatment. No such increase occurred during amineptine therapy. Baseline beta-EP values were normal in the bulimic patients but had declined by month 4 of fluvoxamine therapy.
