Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The PICOWO research group in corporation with the University of Amsterdam (Artificial Intelligence) has developed a computer simulationmodel of eating disorders (Bosse, Delfos, Jonker \& Treur, 2003). In a running Phd project we want to add ghrelin to the model. The idea for this current research is to collect clinical information about the functioning and (patho)physiology of ghrelin in patients with AN, so we can extend the simulation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Eating disorders are in need of new perspectives. A better understanding of the appetite in patients with eating disorders, especially Anorexia Nervosa, could be investigated by the levels of ghrelin in patients with and without tube feeding.
