Abstract
In dieser Übersichtsarbeit werden aktuelle biologische Erkenntnisse zur Anorexia nervosa zusammengestellt. Die Schwerpunkte liegen bei genetischen Ansätzen und den (neuro-)biologischen Folgen der Semistarvation. Hierbei wird die maßgebliche Bedeutung des Hormons Leptin hervorgehoben.
Key words
