Towards a more specific model of anorectic pathogenesis: Parental selfobject use of the pre-anorectic child.
Decades of research on the anorectic's family relationships have contributed a certain measure of depth and precision to our current understanding of this syndrome's pathogenesis. Yet none of the existing etiological formulations is specific as regards the predisposition to anorexia nervosa in that …

Central mechanisms underlying the synergistic anorectic effect of CCK and GLP-1 combination therapy
… central mechanisms underlying the synergistic anorectic effect of CCK and GLP-1 combination therapy. We characterized feeding behaviour in response to the administration of CCK receptor (CCK-R) and a GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists in lean mice. We found that the GLP-1R agonist potentiates the …

Induction of Interleukin-1(beta) Converting Enzyme in the Brain and Its Role in Anorexia Induced by Centrally Administered Lipopolysaccharide
… ICE-/- mice, however, were resistant to the anorectic effects of central LPS but responsive to anorectic properties of recombinant murine IL-1beta. While ICV injection of neither ICE-like protease cathepsin G nor LPS alone reduced food intake in ICE-/- mice, in combination, however, cathepsin …

Liberating articles or oppressive reproduction?: A rhetorical analysis of popular media discourse concerning anorexia
… has been on the character profile of a "typical" anorectic; on possible "triggers" of the disorder; and on medical, including psychological, treatment and effects of the disease. Still, there is something missing from these articles. For instance, the typical magazine article about anorexia …

Role of Exchange Protein Directly Activated by cAMP Isoform 1 in Energy Homeostasis
… nervous system (CNS) while adipose Epac1 has an anorectic role. Deletion of Epac1 in CNS results in a more potent anorectic effect which overcomes the orexigenic effect of Epac1 deficiency in adipose tissue.

Effect of increased energy in a restricted diet on bone mineral composition and breaking load of young rat tibias
… that are on energy restricted diets such as anorectic subjects. Thirty Wistar strain, young male rats were fed diets with varying quantities of fat for a period of four weeks (energy intake 67--75% of requirement). The rat tibias' physical properties were measured. Bone mineral composition …

Orexin Signaling and the Prevention of Diet-Induced Obesity
… While orexin overexpression enhances the anorectic-catabolic effects of central leptin administration, obese leptin-deficient mice (ob/ob) are completely resistant to the metabolic effects of orexin overexpression or OX2R selective agonist administration. I conclude that enhanced …

The role of Arginyltransferase 1 in body weight homeostasis
… role of ATE1 by examining the effects of the anorectic hormone leptin in wild type (WT) and ATE1-knockout (ATE1-KO) mice maintained on a normal chow diet, or a high fat diet. We found that on both diets, ATE1-KO mice weighed significantly less than WT mice despite consuming more food …

Bodies of Refusal: Food, Power, and the Paradox of Female Agency
… context, these works converge in portraying anorectic behaviors as both an assertion of autonomy and an internalization of oppressive ideals surrounding femininity and control. This duality reveals the inherent contradictory nature of food refusal. It operates as a form of protest against …

Eating-Disorder Patterns in the Minnesota Multiphasic Personaity Inventory
… the existence of an eating-disorder pattern for anorectic and bulimic subjects that departed significantly from that of a normal population. The v-shaped pattern was tested at four different levels of magnitude. Statistical analysis confirmed that the v-shaped pattern, defined in several …

Fonctionnement du concept de soi facteur prévisionnel des symptômes anorexiques
… the potential of these events to break through anorectic girls known ego-centered tendencies. Taken as a whole, the 'results highlight the necessity of considering overall of dimensions of self-esteem and the"profiles" of girls with and without ED in preventive and therapeutic interventions for …

The relationship of attachment and shame to anorexia: A case study comparing restrictive and normal eaters
… described and many clinicians have reported the anorectic patient as socially disconnected, having a disembodied sense of self, perfectionist expectations, and inadequate and shameful feelings. The more intense the internal war, the more food-focused and self-defeating behavior ensues, thwarting …

Effects of Cocaine, Nicotine and Diet on Voluntary Alcohol Consumption in Rats
… of alcohol, this could be due to its well known anorectic effects, as the Indians themselves state that this is one of the reasons they chew coca leaves.</p> <p>The other part of this study is concerned with nicotine. Since many smokers also drink, the effects of this drug upon alcohol …

Aldehyde-driven transcriptional stress triggers an anorexic DNA damage response
… observed in CS as well chemotherapy-induced anorectic weight loss. A plausible evolutionary purpose for such a response is to ensure aversion to genotoxins in food.

Self-assembled peptide as a long-acting drug formulation
… so far impaired pharmaceutical exploitation of anorectic and glucose-homeostatic activities [3]. It is known that many – if not all – peptides can be converted to self-assembled nanostructures [4]. Amyloid fibrils are characterized by enhanced chemical, biological and mechanic stability compared …

Galanin-like peptide: a molecular link between energy homeostasis and reproduction
… which raises the possibility that GALP's anorectic effect does not reflect a homeostatic regulation of energy balance. I also observed that ICV GALP treatment robustly stimulates luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone secretion in wild-type mice. In contrast to GALP's transitory effect …

Influence of Pre-meal Inulin Consumption on Energy Intake in Overweight and Obese Middle-aged and Older Adults: A Pilot Study
… ITFs are known to stimulate the excretion of anorectic gut hormones glucagon like peptide-1 and peptide YY upon fermentation in the colon.8 Research done to date has included samples with wide age and BMI ranges, various doses of inulin, as well as different study designs. More investigations …

Leptin and the Control of Body Weight and Metabolism: Role for Stearoyl CoA Desaturase-1 and Other Leptin-Regulated Genes in the Liver
… response that cannot be explained by its anorectic effects alone. This response is characterized by weight loss, depletion of lipid from peripheral tissues, and enhanced insulin sensitivity. The mechanisms underlying these actions were largely unknown. This thesis addressed leptin's …

Possibile ruolo del sistema endocannabinoide nel disturbo d’alimentazione incontrollata (binge eating disorder): studi comportamentali, farmacologici e biochimici
… altered endocannabinoid neurotransmission in anorectic conditions. A possible involvement of the endocannabinoid system in the pathogenesis of BED and other eating disorders has recently been supported by independent experimental evidence. Elevated plasma levels of anandamide were found in …
