โœฆ Synopsis

Bulimia is a relatively common eating disorder with many serious medical complications. In 1 I normal weight patients with bulimia, serum amylase isoenzymes were elevated above control values. Both P (pancreatic origin) and S (salivary gland origin) isoenzymes were elevated to approximately equal degrees. These elevations correlated with the time elapsed since the previous meal but did not correlate with any measures of severity of bulimic behavior or clinical estimations of parotid gland enlargement. Saliva amylase was not different from controls. When serum from these pdtients was sent to the routine clinical chemistry labordtory, total amylase values were reported to be elevated in two patients and near the top of the normal range in an additional patient. Bulimic behavior must be added to the list of conditions that are associated with mild elevations in serum amylase. Serum amylase determination may be useful to clinicians in confirming the diagnosis of bulimia.

There are numerous unanswered questions concerning the aetiology of Binge Eating Disorders (BED). In DSM IV it is still seen as a pathology in the study stage. Although BED and Bulimia Nervosa have some common characteristics, it is still difยฎcult to identify the exact mechanisms that lead to binge-
