Serum concentrations of macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 in anorexia nervosa. Serum concentrations of macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 (MIC-1; pg/ml) in normal-weight healthy control women (C; n = 25), patients with anorexia nervosa before the beginning of any treatment (AN pre-treatment; n = 16) and patients with anorexia nervosa after two months of refeeding (AN post-treatment; n = 16). *p < 0.05 vs. controls (Mann-Whitney test), ⁺p < 0.05 vs. pre-treatment values (Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test).
