Abstract
⺠We analyzed leptin and orexin A plasma levels in restrictive type of anorexia nervosa. ⺠We examined changes in these peptides during 6-month of psychotherapeutic treatment. ⺠Before the therapy, both leptin and orexin A levels were lower than in control group. ⺠Leptin levels increased and showed a correlation with BMI. ⺠Orexin A levels showed further decrease, with no correlation with BMI.
