Eating disorders sometimes can affect the reproductive system. Lack of nutrients (often found through anorexia and intense bulimia) can cause a lack of a menstrual cycle in women as the body tries to preserve energy and nutrients that it does not need to "waste" on "un-nessecary" processes like a girl having her period. If this continues, it cna lead to infertility or other complications.

How is the interaction between the endocrine system and the nervous system affected by an eating disorder?

Thew answer is probably just as complicated as the disorder. The main problem with an eating disorder is malnourishment. Since the endocrine system needs good nutrition to make its hormones and the nervous system needs calcium, and many other compounds, to keep it healthy and functioning, what happens to a person with an eating disorder is that the two main communication systems in the body begin to have a harder time controlling homeostasis. When homeostasis declines, all body systems are affected. The body generally starts withering away. This happens in anorexia nervosa/bulimia as well as alcoholism.
