Official Title: Effects of Low Salt Dietary Intake on Th17-Mediated Inflammation and Vascular Reactivity in Patients With Psoriasis
Brief Summary:
Psoriasis presents an independent cardiovascular risk factor characterized by chronic low-grade systemic inflammation and oxidative stress which altogether might lead to endothelial dysfunction.It has been reported that increased oxidative stress has a pivotal role in high dietary sodium-induced endothelial dysfunction.Previous studies on sodium accumulation in psoriatic skin lesions and the sodium-induced augmentation in Th17 immune response, raise the question on the complex interplay between sodium and…
