“…However, altered methylation profiles in AN compared to healthy controls were identified for only ten genes. These genes are related to mood regulation and neurotransmitter release (serotonin, dopamine, alpha-synuclein) [57,58,[66][67][68], social attachment (oxytocin) [62,69], appetite regulation (leptin, ghrelin) [53,68,70], lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis (NR1H3) [45,49,54,61], extracellular matrix organization (TNXB) [45,49,54,61] and regulation of gene expression (HDAC4) [49,71]. Intriguingly, all genes except for leptin and, more recently, serotonin showed an increased methylation level in patients with AN compared to healthy controls [53,66].…”
