Summary
The neuromolecular and metabolic underpinnings of Anorexia Nervosa (AN) are studied using multi-modal molecular (positron emission tomography with two different radioligands) and functional (functional magnetic resonance imaging) neuroimaging in a prospective design. Subjects with AN and normal weight adolescents will be studied with PET and MRI and followed for five years.
Detailed description
A total of sixty females (30 with AN, 30 healthy controls) are recruited into this prospective study. The subjects will undergo physical examination, body tissue composition measurement, functional and structural MRI of the brain and body, and positron emission tomography (PET) with ligands \[18F\]-FDG, and \[11C\]carfentanil. Subjects' weight and physical condition will be followed up for 5 years. The study will start in August 2020 and end in the fall of 2028.
