Satiation deficits and binge eating: Probing differences between bulimia nervosa and purging disorder using an ad lib test meal

Pamela K. Keel, Alissa A. Haedt-Matt, Britny Hildebrandt, Lindsay P. Bodell, more

Appetite > 2018 > 127 > C > 119-125

Purging disorder (PD) has been included as a named condition within the DSM-5 category of Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder and differs from bulimia nervosa (BN) in the absence of binge-eating episodes. The current study evaluated satiation through behavioral and self-report measures to understand how this construct may explain distinct symptom presentations for bulimia nervosa (BN) and purging...

Plasma BDNF levels following weight recovery in anorexia nervosa

Kathryn E. Phillips, David C. Jimerson, Anilkumar Pillai, Barbara E. Wolfe

Physiology & Behavior > 2016 > 165 > C > 300-303

Preclinical studies have implicated brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the regulation of eating behavior and body weight. As reviewed in this report, prior studies of BDNF levels in anorexia nervosa have yielded variable results, perhaps reflecting effects of malnutrition and psychiatric comorbidity. The goal of the current report was to assess plasma BDNF as a biomarker in weight-recovered...

Peripheral Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) in Bulimia Nervosa: A Systematic Review

Kathryn Phillips, Kathleen Keane, Barbara E. Wolfe

Archives of Psychiatric Nursing > 2014 > 28 > 2 > 108-113

Introduction: Currently, there is limited understanding of the etiology of BN. While multifaceted etiology is likely, several neurobiological factors may play a role. Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a potential biomarker linked to eating and weight disorders, is one factor of recent investigation. This paper examined studies comparing BDNF blood levels in BN to healthy control (HC) subjects...

CCK response in bulimia nervosa and following remission

Sandra L. Hannon-Engel, Evgeniy E. Filin, Barbara E. Wolfe

Physiology & Behavior > 2013 > 122 > Complete > 56-61

The core defining features of bulimia nervosa (BN) are repeated binge eating episodes and inappropriate compensatory (e.g., purging) behavior. Previous studies suggest an abnormal post-prandial response in the satiety-signaling peptide cholecystokinin (CCK) in persons with BN. It is unknown whether this altered response persists following remission or if it may be a potential target for the development...

Serum amylase in bulimia nervosa and purging disorder: Differentiating the association with binge eating versus purging behavior

Barbara E. Wolfe, David C. Jimerson, Adrian Smith, Pamela K. Keel

Physiology & Behavior > 2011 > 104 > 5 > 684-686

Elevated serum amylase levels in bulimia nervosa (BN), associated with increased salivary gland size and self-induced vomiting in some patients, provide a possible marker of symptom severity. The goal of this study was to assess whether serum hyperamylasemia in BN is more closely associated with binge eating episodes involving consumption of large amounts of food or with purging behavior.Participants...

Quality of Eating Disorders Websites: What Adolescents and Their Families Need to Know

Adrian T Smith, Susan Kelly‐Weeder, Jennifer Engel, Katelyn A. McGowan, more

Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Nursing > 24 > 1 > 33 - 37

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine the accessibility and content quality of eating disorder websites. METHODS: A descriptive, exploratory study using four search engines and seven search terms was conducted to identify and evaluate the accuracy of eating disorder information available on consumer oriented websites. FINDINGS: One hundred fifteen (82.1%) websites were accessed. Few...

Psychobiology of purging disorder: Reduction in circulating leptin levels in purging disorder in comparison with controls

David C. Jimerson, Barbara E. Wolfe, Devon P. Carroll, Pamela K. Keel

International Journal of Eating Disorders > 43 > 7 > 584 - 588

Objective:Purging disorder (PD), a recently recognized eating disorder syndrome, is differentiated from bulimia nervosa (BN) based on the absence of objectively large binge episodes. BN has been associated with low serum leptin levels. This study examined whether PD is also characterized by low serum leptin. Method:Participants included women with PD (n = 20) or BN (n = 37), and non‐eating disorder...

Salivary gland enlargement and elevated serum amylase in bulimia nervosa

Eran D. Metzger, Jeffrey M. Levine, Colin R. McArdle, Barbara E. Wolfe, more

Biological Psychiatry > 1999 > 45 > 11 > 1520-1522

Background: Clinical reports have described salivary gland enlargement in bulimia nervosa, particularly in patients with elevated serum amylase concentration. The goal of the current study was to provide a controlled comparison of salivary gland size in patients with bulimia nervosa and healthy volunteers.Methods: Subjects included 17 women with bulimia nervosa and 21 healthy female control subjects...

The Effects of Dieting on Plasma Tryptophan Concentration and Food Intake in Healthy Women11Presented in part at the 7th International Conference on Eating Disorders, April, 1996.

Barbara E. Wolfe, Eran D. Metzger, Carol Stollar

Physiology & Behavior > 1997 > 61 > 4 > 537-541

Wolfe, B. E., E. D. Metzger and C. Stollar. The effects of dieting on plasma tryptophan concentration and food intake in healthy women. Physiol Behav 61(4) 537–541, 1997.—Although many people diet, relatively few dieters are successful in maintaining weight loss. The extent to which dieting behavior might dampen satiety responses normally mediated by the neurotransmitter serotonin remains uncertain...

Dimensions of response to antidepressant agents in bulimia nervosa: A review

Barbara E. Wolfe

Archives of Psychiatric Nursing > 1995 > 9 > 3 > 111-121

Many patients suffering from bulimia nervosa benefit from treatment with antidepressant medication. Nurses, like other mental health clinicians, tend to assess the effectiveness of a pharmacologic agent in patients with bulimia nervosa by the decline in the frequency of binge eating episodes. Clinical descriptions and research reports suggest the possibility of additional behavioral dimensions of...

Comparison of the effects of amino acid mixture and placebo on plasma tryptophan to large neutral amino acid ratio

Barbara E. Wolfe, Eran D. Metzger, David C. Jimerson

Life Sciences > 1995 > 56 > 17 > 1395-1400

To assess the possible role of altered central serotonin function in psychiatric disorders, investigators have utilized pharmacological challenge testing with an amino acid mixture to decrease blood tryptophan concentration and, indirectly, brain serotonin levels. The aim of this pilot study was to assess the effectiveness of a modified amino acid mixture, administered in capsule form, in decreasing...
