U.S., June 12 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07016334) titled 'We Analyse Metabolites in Dried Blood Spots From Newborns That Later in Life Developed an Eating Disorder.' on May 21.

Brief Summary: Anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) are serious eating disorders (EDs) with significant morbidity and mortality. Genetic studies have shown associations between EDs and metabolic traits, and longitudinal studies indicate distinct weight trajectories in children who later develop AN or BN, suggesting early involvement of metabolic factors. Biological studies also reveal differences in immune and neurotrophic markers in individuals with EDs compared to controls. Intriguingly, metabolites meas...
