ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Cerebrospinal fluid levels of L-tryptophan, quinolinic acid, kynurenic acid, L-kynurenine, and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid were measured in medication-free female patients meeting DSM-III-R criteria for either anorexia nervosa (n = 10) or normal-weight bulimia nervosa (n = 22), studied at varying stages of nutritional recovery."3.69Cerebrospinal fluid levels of kynurenine pathway metabolites in patients with eating disorders: relation to clinical and biochemical variable. ( Altemus, M; Demitrack, MA; Gold, PW; Heyes, MP; Pigott, TA, 1995)
"Background: The incidence of eating disorders (EDs), serious mental and physical conditions characterized by a disturbance in eating or eating-related behaviors, has increased steadily."1.91 ( Beccari, T; Ceccarini, MR; Dalla Ragione, L; Di Nicola, M; Franzago, M; Mondanelli, G; Orabona, C; Orecchini, E; Porreca, A; Stuppia, L; Vitacolonna, E, 2023)
