Note: ARFID = avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder; AN = anorexia nervosa and atypical anorexia nervosa primarily restricting presentation; HC = healthy controls; S.D.= standard deviation; S.E.M = standard error of the mean; only participants who ate at least 50% (i.e., 210 Kcal) of the standardized breakfast meal are included in comparisons; T0 = hormone levels following a 8+ hour overnight fast, T30 = hormone levels 30 minutes post breakfast meal; T60 = 60 minutes post breakfast meal; T120 = 120 minutes post breakfast meal; AUC = area under the curve; significant p values <.025 for the omnibus mixed ANOVA, <.0083 for the one-way omnibus ANOVAs, and <.05 for group mean post-hoc comparisons are indicated in bold.
