Functional polymorphism of cyclooxygenase-2 gene (G-765C) in depressive patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Stress is a precipitating factor for both binge eating and bulimia nervosa (BN); however, the biological mechanisms through which it may trigger binge eating are poorly understood. There is evidence that the adrenal hormone cortisol and the gastric peptide ghrelin might be involved in stress-induced food ing...
