Neuroimaging of hypothalamic mechanisms related to glucose metabolism in anorexia nervosa and obesity

CONCLUSION These results indicate that blunted hypothalamic glucose reactivity might be related to the pathophysiology of AN. This study provides insights for future research, as it is an extended perspective of the traditional primary nonhomeostatic understanding of the disease.FUNDING This study was supported by a grant from the DFG (SI 2087/2-1).
