Abstract
Autoantibodies directed against appetite-regulating neuropeptides and peptide hormones are emerging as important participants in the peptidergic mechanisms controlling motivated behavior. Furthermore, these autoantibodies could provide a link in the gut-brain axis and may represent new biological targets for the diagnosis and treatment of eating disorders.
