Bencherif and Colleagues (2005)used Brain MRI to Study Hormone Secretion

Bencherif and colleagues (2005) used brain MRI to study hormone secretion in eating disordered patients. They found that:

A) Patients with bulimia have high levels of endogenous opioid beta-endorphin.
B) Patients with bulimia have high levels of aldosterone alpha-endorphin.
C) Patients with bulimia have increased HYPERLINK "http:/ /users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/S/SexHormones.html" chorionic gonadotropin, indicating that thyroxine could not bind to the transmembrane HYPERLINK "http://user s.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/G/G.html" G-protein-coupled receptors.
D) Patients with bulimia have decreased regional mu-opioid receptor binding in the insular cortex.
