| Research Abstract |
The number of patients with anorexia nervosa(AN) is rapidly increasing in industrialized countries, although enteric factors linked to AN pathophysiology are largely unknown. Especially, whether gut bacteria residing in the gut are related to the development and exacerbation of AN remains to be clarified. Our research purpose is to clarify the relationship between gut microbiota and weight gain in AN patients and healthy volunteers, using automated analytical system of gut microbiota,“YIF-scan". This study was already approved by ethical committee of our university in 2011. To date, five AN patients who are eligible and have no exclusion criteria have been enrolled in this study, and their fecal samples are being processed to YIF-scan. Interim analysis on microbiota profile will be carried out when 10 samples of patients are collected.
