Objectives\udPsoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which pathogenesis has not been completely understood yet. Adiponectin(AN) produced by adipocytes has antidiabetic, antiatherogenic and anti-inflammatory effects. Recent studies demonstrated that metabolic syndrome is related with low levels of AN. In literature, a few studies have been found that investigate AN levels in psoriasis. In this study, we purposed to investigate the levels of AN in psoriasis. \udMaterials and Methods: \udForty six patients with psoriasis and age and sex matched 40 healthy individuals as a control group were included in our study. Dermatological examinations were performed and psoriasis area severity index (PASI) was calculated. In both groups, demographic features were questioned and body mass index were defined. Serum AN and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were determined in both groups and were compared statistically.\udResults: \udThe mean serum AN levels were numerically lower in patients than in control group, but no significant statistical difference was detected between groups. Serum levels of AN were not found to be associated with age, age at onset of disease and disease duration. It was demonstrated that as levels of CRP increased, levels of AN decreased in psoriasis group. As PASI increased, a significant statistically difference was observed in levels of serum AN levels. No statistical difference was detected between PASI and body mass index. \udConclusion\udSerum levels of AN in psoriasis may be an indicator of comorbidities such as metabolic syndrome. Also it can be used for assessing the severity of disease in psoriasis. But, for assessing the role of AN in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and to clarify this association, studies in different clinical models are needed
