Etiology of hypercholesterolemia in patients with anorexia nervosa

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to clarify the mechanism of hypercholesterolemia in anorexia nervosa patients. Results show that serum levels of cholesterol, cholesterol ester transfer protein and apolipoproteins decreased after weight gain, indicating that cholesterol metabolism is accelerated in patients with anorexia nervosa with normal serum levels of free fatty acid.
