Eating Disorders

Information about Eating Disorders: characteristics, related genes and pathways, plus antibodies you can use for research. This page is being enriched constantly, if you see some information you would like this page to include please send your suggestions to us.

Overview of Eating Disorders

Most recent studies have shown that Eating Disorders shares some biological mechanisms with amenorrhea, anxiety-disorders, depressive-disorder, hyperphagia, malnutrition, mental-disorders, mood-disorders, obesity, obsessive-compulsive-disorder, personality-disorders, substance-related-disorders, vomiting.

Among the many pathways, these few ones have gauged particular interests from scientists studying Eating Disorders, and have been seen in publications frequently: Aging, Circadian Rhythm, Cognition, Eating Behavior, Energy Homeostasis, Excretion, Feeding Behavior, Gastric Emptying, Hypersensitivity, Lactation, Menarche, Menopause, Menstruation, Ovulation, Pathogenesis, Regulation Of Appetite, Response To Food, Rumination, Secretion, Translation

Quite a number of genes have been found to play important roles in Eating Disorders, such as BDNF, BEST1, CCK, CEP70, CRH, DMD, GRP, INS, LEP, NES, NOS1, NOS2, NPY, OPN1SW, POMC, PRL, SLC6A4, TNF. See what Boster has to offer for the research of these genes by clicking the gene name links below and view a more detailed info card/product listing for that gene.

In a later update, we will include information such as current drugs and therapy solutions as well as on-going and past clinical trials for this disease. Plesae stay updated.
