Gregory's ServerMeanwhile, I'm over here reading about starvation physiology.
From the 1940s Minnesota Starvation study:
"Contrary to the textbooks, heart muscle behaves much like skeletal muscle in starvation. In both acute and chronic undernutrition the heart shrinks in volume and in weight..."
Keys, A. (1948). CALORIC UNDERNUTRITION AND STARVATION, WITH NOTES ON PROTEIN DEFICIENCY. Journal of the American Medical Association, 138(7), 500. https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.1948.62900070006007

the major characteristics are apathy, depression and introversion. Social contacts are avoided and sex interest declines sharply. Psychiatric methods reveal, besides the depression, a well defined rise in the tendencies to hypochondriasis and hysteria."
