Özet

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome. Adipokines are thought to be a link between psoriasis and obesity. Leptin, adiponectin, and omentin are bioactive adipokines thought to play a role in both metabolic comorbidities and inflammation. Anti-tumour necrosis factor alfa (anti-TNF-alpha) agents are effective for psoriasis treatment, although significant weight gain has been reported during anti-TNF-alpha therapy. The interleukin 12/23 (IL 12/23) inhibitor ustekinumab is also effective for psoriasis treatment. We compared the effects of three anti-TNF-alpha drugs and an IL-12/23 inhibitor on adipokines and weight gain during treatment.
