Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a psychiatric disease associated with notable
medical complications and increased mortality. Endocrine abnormalities,
including hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, hypercortisolemia, growth
hormone resistance and sick euthyroid syndrome, mediate the clinical
manifestations of this disease. Alterations in anorexigenic and orexigenic
appetite-regulating pathways have also been described. Decreases in fat
mass result in adipokine abnormalities. Although most of the endocrine
changes that occur in AN represent physiologic adaptation to starvation,
some persist after recovery and might contribute to susceptibility to AN
recurrence. In this Review, we summarize key endocrine alterations in
AN, with a particular focus on the profound bone loss that can occur
in this disease. Although AN is increasingly prevalent among boys and
men, the disorder predominantly affects girls and women who are,
therefore, the focus of this Review.
