How Dietary Protein Influences Psoriasis Inflammation | Experimental Mouse Model Study
Introduction Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by hyperproliferation of keratinocytes and dysregulated immune responses. Emerging evidence suggests that dietary factors, particularly protein intake, may modulate inflammatory pathways. This research explores how varying levels of dietary protein influence both cutaneous and systemic inflammation in mice with acute experimental psoriasis, providing insight into the intersection of nutrition, immunology, and dermatological disease mechanisms. Experimental Design and Methodology This study utilizes an acute murine psoriasis model to evaluate the impact of controlled dietary protein variations on inflammatory severity. Mice are divided into low-protein, normal-protein, and high-protein diet groups prior to psoriasis induction. Clinical scoring, histopathological analysis, cytokine profiling, and systemic biomarker assessment are performed to determine how protein intake alters inflammatory progre...
