Joanna Oświęcimska,Agnieszka Szymlak,Wojciech Roczniak,Katarzyna Girczys-Połedniok,Jarosław Kwiecień +4 more
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to summarize the past decade progress in IBS diagnosis, main pathophysiological aspects and therapeutic management strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Skeletal status and laboratory investigations in adolescent girls with anorexia nervosa.
Joanna Oświęcimska,Katarzyna Ziora,Wojciech Pluskiewicz,Gabriela Geisler,Katarzyna Broll-Waśka,D. Karasek,Antoni Dyduch +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that anorexia nervosa seriously affects skeletal status in adolescent girls and bone turnover markers analysed together with densitometric parameters suggest that AN influences both bone formation and resorption processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
RANKL/RANK/OPG system and bone status in females with anorexia nervosa.
Zofia Ostrowska,Katarzyna Ziora,Joanna Oświęcimska,Elżbieta Świętochowska,Bozena Szapska,Kinga Wołkowska-Pokrywa,Antoni Dyduch +6 more
TL;DR: Although higher OPG levels may compensate for excessive bone resorption in female patients with AN, the lower OPG/sRANKL ratio seems to indicate that some inadequacies exist regarding this compensation effect, which might contribute to low bone density in these patients.
Journal Article
Prospective evaluation of leptin and neuropeptide Y (NPY) serum levels in girls with anorexia nervosa.
TL;DR: Altered neuroregulation of the neuropeptides (leptin and NPY) secretion may contribute persistent amenorrhea after weight gain in anorectic patients with low initial BMI.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is concluded that compared with H controls, serum APE-36 andAPE-12 concentrations decreased as a result of fat tissue depletion in patients with Anorexia nervosa, and obese adolescents had elevated APE -36 and APe-12 due to excessive fat mass as well as increased APE production in adipose tissue.
