    Summary

    Psoriasis may indicate endogenous insulin resistance, even in individuals without a family history of diabetes. This suggests psoriasis could be a risk factor for developing diabetes.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Endocrinology
    • Metabolic Syndrome

    Background:

    • Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition.
    • Insulin resistance is a key factor in the development of type 2 diabetes.
    • The relationship between psoriasis and metabolic disorders is an area of ongoing research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the presence of endogenous insulin resistance in psoriatic patients.
    • To explore the potential link between psoriasis and an increased risk of diabetes.

    Main Methods:

    • Study included psoriatic subjects with normal weight and overweight.
    • Subjects had no inherited family history of diabetes.
    • Insulin resistance was assessed in the study population.

    Main Results:

    • Findings suggest the presence of endogenous insulin resistance in subjects with psoriasis.
    • Overweight psoriatic individuals may exhibit higher levels of insulin resistance.

    Conclusions:

    • Psoriasis may be associated with an intrinsic predisposition to insulin resistance.
    • Psoriasis could represent a potential risk factor for the development of diabetes.
    • Further prospective studies are warranted to confirm the diabetogenic risk associated with psoriasis.
