Insulin receptors in psoriasis.

1979 
: We have demonstrated how in psoriasis, irrespective of any diabetic family history, there exists a state of hyperinsulinism with a decreased resistance to insulin, which is aggravated by obesity. Since reviewing the latest studies concerning diabetes at the receptor level, we have carried out a comparative study dealing with insulin receptors in lymphocytes in homogeneous groups of normal, obese, and psoriatics of normal weight and overweight. We have also made a comparison regarding the behaviour of the receptors in these various metabolic states.
