TLDR
Studies of patterns of lutenizing hormone (LH) secretion in anorexia nervosa are reviewed and it is found that Restoration of ideal weight is not always associated with return to adult circadian LH secretion patterns.Abstract:
Studies of patterns of lutenizing hormone (LH) secretion in anorexia nervosa are reviewed. Restoration of ideal weight is not always associated with return to adult circadian LH secretion patterns. Abnormalities in LH secretion (immature patterns) may represent a biological “marker” of active anorexia nervosa.read more

Height and weight at menarche and a hypothesis of critical body weights and adolescent events
Rose E. Frisch,Roger Revelle +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that a critical body weight may trigger each of the major events of adolescence, initiation of the weight growth spurt and maximum rate of weight gain, which occur at an invariant mean weight.

Restoration of normal pituitary gonadotropin reserve by administration of luteinizing-hormone-releasing hormone in patients with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism
TL;DR: Results suggest that the response to the test after repeated administration of luteinizing-hormone-releasing hormone is of value for the diagnosis of hypogonadism of hypothalamic origin.

A Shared Molecular and Genetic Basis for Food and Drug Addiction: Overcoming Hypodopaminergic Trait/State by Incorporating Dopamine Agonistic Therapy in Psychiatry.
TL;DR: This article focuses on the shared molecular and neurogenetics of food and drug addiction tied to the understanding of reward deficiency syndrome, a hypodopaminergic trait/state that provides a rationale for commonality in approaches for treating long-term reduced dopamine function across the reward brain regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The endocrinology of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.
TL;DR: Endocrine disturbances may be a final common pathway in which disturbances of diet, weight, activity, stress, and mood as well as hypothalamic dysfunction are expressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anorexia nervosa--thinness as illness.
TL;DR: While acute problems often respond to medical intervention, many aspects of the anorectic condition are relatively refractory and some patients continue to have problems for much of their lives.

Diagnostic criteria for use in psychiatric research.
John P. Feighner,Eli Robins,Samuel B. Guze,Robert A. Woodruff,George Winokur,Rodrigo A. Munoz +5 more
TL;DR: Diagnostic criteria for 14 psychiatric illnesses along with the validating evidence for these diagnostic categories comes from workers outside the authors' group as well as from those within; it consists of studies of both outpatients and inpatients, of family studies, and of follow-up studies.

Menstrual cycles: fatness as a determinant of minimum weight for height necessary for their maintenance or onset.
Rose E. Frisch,Janet W. McArthur +1 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that a minimum level of stored, easily mobilized energy is necessary for ovulation and menstrual cycles in the human female.

Radioimmunoassay: A Method for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin and Human Luteinizing Hormone1
TL;DR: The assay is sufficiently sensitive to permit quantitation of normal amounts of luteinizing hormone in 0.1 ml of unconcentrated serum and urine of women near the time of presumed ovulation.
