Chronic Inflammation and Metabolic Syndrom in Patients with Psoriasis
 Vachatová, Simona ; Ettler, Karel (advisor) ; Vašků, Vladimír (referee) ; Tichý, Martin (referee)
Psoriasis is a chronic recurrent inflammatory disease. Genetic and immunological factors are involved in development of psoriasis. Psoriasis is associated with numerous comorbidities including metabolic syndrome (MetS). Adipocytokines produced by white adipose tissue may be involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Adipocytokines could serve as a missing link in the association between psoriasis and obesity/MetS. The most important adipokines include adiponectin, leptin and resistin. Adiponectin is expressed by adipocytes and has a high anti- inflammatory potential. Leptin is a protein produced in adipose tissue and is an important part in regulating energy metabolism. It has a pro-inflammatory effect. Polypeptide resistin is produced by macrophages and monocytes of the visceral adipose tissue. It was named for its ability to induce insulin resistence. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is also product of macrophages, that can be served as a marker for cardiovascular risk. Increased smoking rates in patients with psoriasis is associated with their reduced quality of life. In addition, smoking of tobacco cigarettes is closely associated with MetS: smokers have an increased risk of MetS. Between psoriasis and smoking has also been demonstrated a direct link. Smoking is a well-recognized cause...
