Abstract
The relationship between mood and noradrenergic activity, measured by orthostatic norepinephrine response (Δ NE), was investigated in 24 patients with anorexia nervosa during inpatient treatment. Mood and Δ NE correlated significantly at four out of five measurement points. Group comparisons identified significantly worse mood in patients with pathologically low Δ NE values. Thus, biological consequences of altered eating behavior may also affect such psychological symptoms as depressed mood.
