Abstract
The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), and serum ceruloplasmin activity and copper content, were measured in 60 patients with psoriasis and 33 healthy controls. There were no significant differences in the activity of MPO between the patients and the controls. However, SOD activity in PMN was significantly lower in the patients than in the controls. Serum ceruloplasmin activity and copper levels were significantly higher in the psoriatics than in the controls.Keywords
