Abstract

Several biochemical studies of psoriatic scales have been previously reported. Eckstein and Wile (1) andProkoptschukandKirson (2) have reported cholesterol values in psoriatic scale which are comparable to those of the normal horny layer. Paschoud and Schmidli (3) have found a decrease in polypeptides or water soluble proteins in psoriatic skin. More recently Flesch and Esoda (4) have reported a concentration of free amino nitrogen in psoriatic scales considerably below that found in the normal horny layer.
