3-hydroxybutyric acid and Anorexia Nervosa

3-hydroxybutyric acid has been researched along with Anorexia Nervosa in 8 studies

3-Hydroxybutyric Acid: BUTYRIC ACID substituted in the beta or 3 position. It is one of the ketone bodies produced in the liver.
3-hydroxybutyric acid : A straight-chain 3-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid comprising a butyric acid core with a single hydroxy substituent in the 3- position; a ketone body whose levels are raised during ketosis, used as an energy source by the brain during fasting in humans. Also used to synthesise biodegradable plastics.

Anorexia Nervosa: An eating disorder that is characterized by the lack or loss of APPETITE, known as ANOREXIA. Other features include excess fear of becoming OVERWEIGHT; BODY IMAGE disturbance; significant WEIGHT LOSS; refusal to maintain minimal normal weight; and AMENORRHEA. This disorder occurs most frequently in adolescent females. (APA, Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms, 1994)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" These data indicate that many patients with bulimia showed the metabolic signs of starvation at the time of the study, a finding supported by the symptoms of endocrine adaptation to starvation, namely low triiodothyronine and a decreased noradrenaline response to an orthostatic test in many of these patients."3.67Metabolic and endocrine indices of starvation in bulimia: a comparison with anorexia nervosa. ( Pahl, J; Pirke, KM; Schweiger, U; Warnhoff, M, 1985)
