Can melatonin and its metabolites boost the efficacy of targeted therapy in patients with advanced melanoma?

abstract：:Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease often associated with obesity. The anti-inflammatory adipokine vaspin, a suggested serine proteinase inhibitor of the serpin family, is discussed as a new link between inflammation and obesity. Here, we demonstrate that - different from healthy controls - vaspin serum levels i...
