UArizona scientists pinpoint anorexia's neurologic origins
This study suggests two important insights to treat anorexia," Cai said. "One is that we need to target multiple brain regions to develop therapies. We also need to treat multiple conditions. For example, maybe one drug will target nausea and another drug target will target inflammation, and you have to combine them, like a cocktail therapy, to have better therapeutic effects."The team relied on mice models for their research."There's no animal model that can mimic human disease completely, but this is as close as we can get," Cai said.
