- Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a serious eating disorder marked by extreme weight loss and an inability to recognize the severity of low body weight, often accompanied by inflammation and altered blood markers.
- The study analyzed specific chemokine receptors (CCR4, CCR6, CXCR3, and CXCR4) in T cells of female adolescents with AN, noting increased levels before treatment and changes after 6 weeks of therapy.
- Key findings indicate that CXCR4 expression correlates with mental health issues and serves as a predictor for body mass index and fat mass index, highlighting its potential role in AN's development.
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe eating disorder and often associated with altered humoral immune responses.

Treatment effects and the relationship between clinical and B cell parameters are also not fully understood.
