Dr. K. Hari Krishna, Dr. G. Aruna

Abstract :

 

The sunshine vitamin is a hot topic that attracted considerable attention over the past decades. It is said that a considerable number of the worldwide population are deficient in this essential nutrient. Vitamin D is a fat–soluble vitamin and synthesised in the skin from 7–dehydroxy cholesterol during exposure to ultraviolet B radiation . Vitamin D was primarily acknowledged for its role in bone formation. However increasing evidence point to its interference with the primary function of nearly every tissue including ain, heart, muscle, immune system and skin. Thereby it’s deficiency has been incriminated in a long panel of diseases including cancers, cardiovascular diseases, schizophrenia, neurological and autoimmune diseases. It’s involvement in the pathogenesis of different skin diseases has been the subject of much research over the recent years. In this study we will throw light on the serum levels of 25 – Hydroxy vitamin D in psoriatic patients in different environments.
