Anorexia nervosa (AN) patients present with restrictive food behavior (AN-R). Some of them develop episodes of bulimia (AN-BP) without any clear pathophysiological explanation to date. Their clinical differentiation is important but not easily performed. Orexigenic/anorexigenic peptides measurements could provide some clues for that matter.
