Is there a link between stress and immune biomarkers and salivary opiorphin in patients with a restrictive-type of anorexia nervosa?

CONCLUSIONS: The effect of stress responses can be reliably assessed in saliva in AN patients. The difference between sIgA and cortisol indicate that they can both be used for mental stress assessment in saliva. Modulation of opiorphin by chronic stress was not confirmed. Unchanged sAA indicates a partial adaptation of human organism to severe condition during malnutrition.
