Abstract
The anterior cingulate cortex plays a key role in eating disorders (ED), but it remains an open question whether there are deviations of the neurochemistry of this region in patients with ED. Seventeen adult female patients with ED (10 with bulimia nervosa, 7 with anorexia nervosa) were compared to 14 matched female healthy controls using single voxel magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the anterior cingulate cortex. Group comparisons did not reveal any differences between patients and controls, but a positive correlation between glutamate and myo-inositol signals with "drive for thinness" in patients with bulimia nervosa was found in exploratory correlation analyses.Entities:
