*3.2. Lipids*

Alterations in the lipid profiles in the plasma, serum, and feces of AN patients have also been described. Distorted eating behaviors, related to fasting and reduction of carbohydrates and fats, produce massive disturbances in metabolism, increasing lipolysis, gluconeogenesis, fatty acid oxidation, and proteolysis [59]. These variations are reflected in the lipidome of individuals with anorexia nervosa. Different strategies have been used to assess the lipid profile in AN.
