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 chorionic gonadotropin, indicating that thyroxine could not bind to the transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptors.
d) Patients with bulimia have decreased regional mu-opioid receptor binding in the insular cortex.
