Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential biological predispositions that contribute to the difficulty patients with anorexia nervosa have in maintaining normal weight
Detailed Description: Anorexia Nervosa AN is a psychiatric illness that is characterized by extreme weight loss and severe body image distortions In this study we are examining changes in body composition metabolic rate and reproductive function before and after treatment for AN More specifically we are testing the hypotheses that 1Weight-restored patients with AN have elevated resting energy expenditure REE compared to controls 2 Weight-restored patients with AN have a central disposition of body fat compared to controls 3 Weight-restored patients with AN who gain the most fat centrally will have the least improvement on psychological measures 4 Weight-restored patients with AN will have leptin levels out of proportion to body fat mass It will also investigate the relationship between REE and leptin with respect to the return of menses
