Evaluation of lipids and fasting blood sugar in the individuals affected with psoriasis

Abstract

Background: The authors have considered inflammation as a factor in psoriasis by making the assumption that a physiological concentration level of lipids and fasting blood sugar (FBS) will alter the level of inflammatory markers that are responsible for the progression of psoriasis disease. Aim: The aim of the present study is to compare and correlate the association of lipids and FBS in the individuals affected with psoriasis and the non-psoriasis controls. Materials & methods: The current study included a total of four hundred (400) participants, split evenly between the psoriasis group and the healthy control group. Outpatient services at Index Medical College and Research Center in Indore were utilized in order to conduct examinations on each and every participant in both groups. Results: The present study observed a stable incline, positive correlation, and positive   regression when compared between TC and FBS (y = 0.2507x + 135.11; TC and age (y = 0.5559x + 140.55) in psoriasis group. On the other hand, scatter diagram between serum TC and age in non-psoriasis control group showed a positive correlation with a regression equation of (y = 0.3723x + 127.97). Conclusion: If this line of research is given funding, investigations using both in vitro and in vivo models will help figure out how hyperglycemia works, which will allow medical professionals to have a better handle on the condition and prevent its problems from developing or worsening. These findings may potentially be of assistance to people in general.
