TL;DR
The finding of persistent gray matter volume deficits in patients who have recovered their weight after AN suggests an irreversible component to the structural brain changes associated with AN, in addition to a component that resolves on weight recovery.

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesHippocampal atrophy in recurrent major depression.
1,923 Citations1996Yvette I. Sheline, P W Wang +3 more
The results suggest that depression is associated with hippocampal atrophy, perhaps due to a progressive process mediated by glucocorticoid neurotoxicity.

A smaller right hippocampal volume in PTSD that is associated with functional deficits in verbal memory is consistent with high levels of cortisol associated with stress.

In his Perspective, Sapolsky argues that the underlying causal agent may be glucocorticoids secreted in abnormally high amounts under stressful conditions.

Bone mineral apparent density (BMAD) is presented, which is BMC normalized to a derived bone reference volume, which minimizes the effect of bone geometry and allows comparisons of mineral status among bones of similar shape but different size.

Using data from the First National Health and Nutrition Examination Study, 1971 to 1974, standardized percentile curves of body-mass index for white children and adolescents were developed and may be used for comparing an individual with others of the same sex and age.

Journal of Adolescent HealthEating disorders in adolescents: A background paper
334 Citations1995Martin Fisher, Neville H. Golden +7 more
Although eating disorders primarily affect adolescents and young adults, much of the recent medical and psychiatric literature fails to consider the unique physiologic, psychologic, and developmental issues relevant to younger patients, more often describing older patients with more chronic and intractable disease.
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & MetabolismRecovery from Osteopenia in Adolescent Girls with Anorexia Nervosa*
296 Citations1991Laura K. Bachrach, Debra K. Katzman +3 more
The persistence of osteopenia in adolescents with AN reflects bone loss, perhaps combined with decreased bone accretion, and weight rehabilitation results in increased bone mineral before the return of menses, indicating deficits in bone mineral acquired during adolescence may not be completely reversible.

Lower weight, but not duration of illness, was associated with poorer performance on tasks assessing flexibility/inhibition and memory, and with greater MRI ventricular size, and the relationships between morphological brain changes and cognitive impairments were weak.

Brain CT studies of 35 patients with anorexia nervosa confirmed the observations of other authors: cerebral dystrophic changes correlate with weight loss and the reversibility of these changes also correlates with the normalization of body weight.

In patients with anorexia nervosa, cerebral ventricular enlargement correlates with the degree of malnutrition and is reversible with weight gain during long-term follow-up.

Much more needs to be learned to uncover basic cellular mechanisms and to account for the sometimes disturbing variability among studies and among individual animals in their susceptibility to negative effects of stress and in degenerative changes in the brain.
