Chen et al., reported that the consumption of Lactobacillus pentosus GMNL-77 in mice with imiquimod-induced psoriasis resulted in less erythema, scaling, and epidermal thickening, as well as a reduction in the expression of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6, IL-23, IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-26 [173]. This evidence concerns the gene TNF and psoriasis.
