Summary

We have studied psoriatic subjects with normal weight and with overweight without inherited diabetic familiarity. The results seem to indicate the existence in psoriasis of an endogenous insulin-resistence. In this prospective the hypothesis that psoriasis carries a diabetogen risk is suggested.

Zusammenfassung

Wir haben psoriasische Patienten mit normalem Gewicht und mit „Übergewicht ohne diabetische Familiarität“ studiert. Die Ergebnisse scheinen in der Psoriasis auf eine endogene Insulin-Resistent zu deuten.

Das veranlaßt uns zu der Annahme, daß die Psoriasis ein diabetogenes Risiko mit sich bringt.
