Yes. Though anorexia (anorexia nervosa) is regarded as a mental health issue and usually is associated with the nervous system pathologies, there are many affects of anorexia on the endocrine system, mostly because most hormones require protein for their production. Also, the metabolic processes in the body are put under great stress because they do not have enough nutrients to perform properly. This can become evident when a woman that has anorexia stops menstruating.
