  • Title: Hyper-induction of skin ornithine decarboxylase activity in psoriatic patients.
    Author: Bouclier M, Elbaze P, Milano G, Shroot B, Ortonne JP.
    Journal: Br J Dermatol; 1986 Aug; 115(2):193-8. PubMed ID: 3741784.
    Abstract:
    Ornithine decarboxylase activity was measured in skin from 14 normal and 24 psoriatic subjects (with stable plaque type psoriasis vulgaris) using punch biopsies carried out immediately (0 h) and 6 h after stimulation by cellotape stripping. At 0 h, no significant difference was found between normal and involved or uninvolved psoriatic skin, but a significant increase was measured 6 h after tape stripping. This increase was significantly greater in uninvolved and involved psoriatic skin compared with normal skin. Preliminary results indicated that these changes were localized in the epidermis.
