This study investigated phototherapy-induced changes in certain adipokine levels in patients with psoriasis. Patients with psoriasis (n=36) were recruited and body mass index (BMI) and disease severity (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) were recorded. Serum resistin and leptin levels before and after bath-psoralen and ultraviolet (UV) A or narrow-band UVB therapy were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Serum leptin levels correlated positively with BMI. Phototherapy induced no remarkable change in the leptin levels, but significantly decreased serum resistin levels from 9.02±8.83 to 4.86±3.30 ng/ml. Serum resistin levels might be involved in ...
