Metabolism of fatty acids in the AN-R and AN-BP groups on admission. AN-R: Anorexia Nervosa restricting type, AN-BP: Anorexia Nervosa Binge-Eating/Purging type, SCD: stearoyl-CoA desaturase, Δ6D: delta-6 desaturase, Δ5D: delta-5 desaturase. The black and the oblique line arrows show the fatty acid levels in the AN-R and AN-BP groups, respectively. The arrows indicate fatty acid levels that are significantly higher in comparison with those of the healthy controls. Significance level of the difference in comparison with the controls: P < 0.05
