The Immunometabolic Connection in Psoriasis

What role does adipose tissue play in the inflammatory processes underlying psoriasis? Tina Bhutani, MD, explores the growing interest in immunometabolic disease, moving beyond the established association between psoriasis and obesity to consider what emerging research into different types of adipose tissue, including visceral fat, may reveal about the relationship between psoriasis and metabolic disease. As researchers begin to distinguish the effects of visceral fat from other adipose tissue, these findings could help refine our understanding of metabolic comorbidities and inform the development of treatments that address both psoriasis and metabolic disease.
