Scientists Found a Hormone That Could Predict Anorexia Relapse Before It Happens
Reported byScienceAlert ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
A study of 30 women with anorexia nervosa found that elevated levels of LEAP2, a hormone antagonist, correlate with relapse risk after treatment, offering potential for predicting which patients need closer monitoring post-discharge.
The research was presented at a 2026 conference and is newly published; long-term clinical application and whether this marker can reliably guide treatment decisions remain to be established.
