These dietary approaches can decrease levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in patients with psoriasis, thereby suppressing skin inflammation and abnormal keratinization (14, 15). This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and psoriasis.
