✦ Synopsis

Polyamine contents in 24 h urine of 16 psoriatic patients and seven healthy individuals are measured. The average values of putrescine and spermine showed slight increase in the psoriatic group, while those of spermidine were unchanged. When psoriatic patients are divided into three groups according to the extent of their skin lesion, the putrescine level is found to be higher in the group more severely affected.

Recently, the neurotoxic amyloid ␀-peptide was shown to up-regulate polyamine metabolism by increasing ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity and polyamine uptake by initiating free radical damage in Alzheimer's disease (AD). 1 Because of these findings, polyamines have been considered to play an im
