In this paper, I have: 1. described the typological diagnosis of anorexia nervosa, 2. discussed recent hematological, lipid, electrolyte, gastrointestinal, and electrocardiographic studies in anorexia nervosa, and 3. reviewed recent endocrine investigations including thyroid, adrenal cortical, gonadotropin, growth hormone, and catecholamine studies in anorexia nervosa. Although all of the reviewed studies have contributed greatly to the formation of descriptive criteria for anorexia nervosa, they have not supported any single hypothesis concerning the etiology of anorexia nervosa. Further studies are needed to ascertain relationships between the typical anorectic behavior and the endocrine and catecholamine changes observed in this disorder.
在本文中，我：1. 描述了神经性厌食症的类型学诊断；2. 讨论了近期关于神经性厌食症的血液学、脂质、电解质、胃肠道及心电图研究；3. 回顾了近期关于神经性厌食症的内分泌研究，包括甲状腺、肾上腺皮质、促性腺激素、生长激素及儿茶酚胺研究。尽管所有这些综述性研究都极大地推动了神经性厌食症描述性标准的形成，但它们并未支持任何有关神经性厌食症病因的单一假说。还需要进一步研究以确定典型的厌食行为与该疾病中观察到的内分泌及儿茶酚胺变化之间的关系。
