Figure 1. Adipokine levels in serum from patients and matched controls.

Adipokines were measured by ELISA in the serum of psoriasis patients and healthy BMI, age and sex matched controls after overnight fast. Leptin, soluble leptin receptor and adiponectin were found not to be elevated in patients compared with matched controls. Resistin, however, was significantly increased. Boxes represent median and interquartile range, whiskers indicate the 10^th and 90^th percentiles, with values outside this range plotted individually; numbers within boxes indicate the number of individuals tested.
