Serum visfatin concentration in acutely ill and weight-recovered patients with anorexia nervosa

Highlights • We report for the first time visfatin levels in recovered anorexia nervosa patients. • Visfatin serum levels increase during weight rehabilitation. • Normal visfatin levels in acute status might be sustained via compensatory mechanisms. • We used an ELISA with greater specificity compar...
