Serum LCN2 levels (a), VAS (b), and PASI (c) in patients with psoriasis pretreatment and posttreatment (). (a) There was a tendency that serum LCN2 levels were lower in psoriasis patients after biologic treatment. However, this trend did not reach statistical significance (). (b) There was a tendency that VAS was lower in psoriasis patients after biologic treatment. However, this trend did not reach statistical significance (). (c) There was a significant difference in PASI with psoriasis between pretreatment and posttreatment. Bar graphs indicate of serum LCN2 levels. Significant differences were assessed by Student’s -tests: and .
