The intestinal ecosystem directly affects anorexia

Description

Anorexia nervosa is a complex mental disorder that changes the way the brain regulates appetite and body image, which is affected by many factors. However, according to a new study conducted by an international team headed by Danish scientists, which was comprised of researchers from Aalborg University Hospital, among others, the disorder can also be a result of severe changes in the intestinal microbes and corresponding gut microbiome-produced metabolites in the blood.
