Changes of endocrine function of adipose tissue in anorexia nervosa: comparison of circulating levels versus subcutaneous mRNA expression

Abstract

Local perturbations in resistin, adiponectin and interleukin-6 mRNA expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue are not reflected by its circulating levels. These changes could be involved in some local metabolic disturbances in subcutaneous adipose tissue of anorexia nervosa patients.
