Metrics details
one of the most common autoimmune diseases and the leading cause of hypothyroidism
is linked to metabolic and cellular dysfunctions that contribute to disease aetiopathogenesis
This case-control study aimed to identify potent metabolic biomarkers of HT employing machine learning techniques
62 euthyroid patients with HT and 58 healthy individuals were included from the metabolic biomarkers in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and psoriasis (METHAP) clinical trial
Quantification of 73 metabolites was performed using gas-chromatography/mass spectrometry in plasma and urine samples of fasted participants
microbiome and lipid metabolism were identified in the HT group
Ordinary least squares and beta regression modeling associated the presence of HT with methylmalonic acid
myristoleic acid and total saturated fatty acids
Artificial neural network analysis had good predictive accuracy with an AUC of 0.8
while debiased sparse partial correlation network analysis identified metabolite-metabolite interactions distinct for HT
These findings provide insights into novel biomarkers associated with HT
and we discuss their biological relevance and clinical significance
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction
and carbohydrate and fatty acids dysfunctional metabolism
Considering the large number of studies demonstrating distinct metabolic imbalances and cellular dysfunctions in HT
this study aimed to define the metabolic imprint of HT using a comprehensive panel of metabolites as markers
There is a pressing need to seek sensitive biomarkers that capture the metabolic state of patients with HT and reflect the underlying metabolic disturbances
Metabolism is a complex network of thousands of metabolites that might be a marker of specific metabolic blocks
we analyzed the changes of metabolites participating in key cellular metabolism and function pathways
we measured the levels of urine organic acids and plasma fatty acids in human samples of patients with HT and compared them to age and sex-matched healthy individuals
a total of 200 individuals were recruited at the Heraklion University Hospital in Crete
and the Health Clinic for Autoimmune and Chronic Diseases in Athens
with the contribution from private practices in Athens to reach the required number of participants
For the purpose of this case-control study
62 patients with HT and 58 age and sex-matched healthy individuals were included
Potential participants were first screened by an endocrinologist to assess whether the patients met the following criteria:
Inclusion criteria for all participants: 18–60 years old
non-lactating or pregnant women and non-athletes
Inclusion criteria for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis: Presence of anti-thyroid antibodies and gray-scale findings
Exclusion criteria for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis: Individuals having undergone complete thyroidectomy with malignant or congenital goiter
Exclusion criteria for the control group: Participants with acute or chronic disease receiving medication
Participants were verbally informed of the study objectives
they were requested to read and sign the informed consent
Baseline measurements include TSH levels for both groups and FT3
participants were requested to fill in a form to record demographic data
alcohol consumption (number of glasses/week) while their dietary habits were recorded through the Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS)
Metabolomic profiling was performed in both groups using targeted metabolomics
and the study conformed to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Research was performed in accordance with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards
The present study has received approval by the Research Ethics Committee of the University of Crete (AP 147/10072020)
An informed consent was obtained from all participants.This research received no external funding
Fasted participants were requested to collect urine samples in a sterilized container
Peripheral blood was collected on the same day and time to ensure minimal day-to-day or daytime metabolite fluctuations using a K2-ethylene diamino tetra-acetic EDTA-containing vacuum blood collection tube
Plasma isolation was performed by centrifuge at 1500×g at 4 °C
Urine and plasma samples were aliquoted and then stored at − 80 °C and − 20 °C
until analysis and up to 24 h to ensure minimal metabolite degradation
Concentrations of organic acids are reported in relation to creatinine levels
we estimated the ratio of product metabolite to reactant metabolite to assess the function of specific enzymes
The ANN model employed was a feed-forward neural network
trained using the error backpropagation algorithm
The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was utilized to evaluate the model’s accuracy
which aligns with established methods for assessing model performance
a Debiased sparse partial correlation (DSPC) network analysis was employed in both groups
DSPC enables the computation of partial correlation coefficients and their p values while facilitating the identification of underlying connectivity patterns among numerous metabolic features
Main central tendency measures were also estimated
such as the degree of centrality and the betweenness
In the present study, 120 participants were analyzed, including 62 patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and 58 individuals in the control group who were matched for age and gender. The population characteristics are summarized in Table 1
The two groups exhibited similar characteristics in terms of demographics
TSH levels were within the normal range for both groups
with no statistical significance between them
Differential metabolite expression in HT patients: Up: fold change analysis of the organic acid metabolic compounds
Corrected false discovery rate (Wilcoxon test
Colored dots indicate significantly different variables
which estimates the group variable and age as statistically significant factors at 90% and 95% levels of significance
It has to be noted that the interpretation of coefficients within the beta regression framework diverges from that of a conventional linear model
the exponentiation of coefficients in this context yields the odds ratios for a one-unit increase in a given predictor variable
All the models used had a slight positive autocorrelation (DW < 2)
but the collinearity diagnostics revealed a lack of multicollinearity
The graphical examination of the standardized residuals revealed that the hypothesis of normality and homoscedasticity was held in all the models above

Neural network architecture used as a predictive model
A debiased sparse partial correlation (DSPC) network of OA and TFA metabolites of Hashimoto's disease
while the edges symbolize the association measures between them
The thickness of the edges corresponds to the strength of these associations
providing a visual indication of their relative importance
The network employs color coding to differentiate between positive (red lines) and negative (blue lines)
there is an increasing need to define the metabolic imbalances of HT to provide early detection and targeted treatment in addition to thyroid hormone replacement therapy
The present study identified differentially expressed urine organic acids and plasma fatty acids in euthyroid patients with HT compared to healthy individuals
3-hydroxybutyric acid and fumaric: succinic ratio were markedly different between case and control groups adjusting for confounding variables
dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (C20:3n6) and total saturated fatty acids (SFA) were all higher in the HT group compared to control
we discuss our findings by grouping the tested metabolites according to their biological relevance
given the underlying metabolic interconnections
the present study validates these findings in the population of euthyroid patients with HT using MMA
which is regarded as a more sensitive biomarker for functional vitamin B12 insufficiency
preliminary findings indicated a possible change in 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid (4-HPPA) levels among individuals with HT
the statistical significance of this hypothesis was not confirmed in the regression model
potentially due to the limited sample size
Further research with a larger sample size is needed to investigate the relationship between 4-HPPA and HT more comprehensively and determine its clinical significance
considering the central role of antioxidants
in the fine-tuning of the immune system and the findings of this study
attention should be given to the marginal micronutrient deficiencies of HT patients and the use of sensitive biomarkers for their detection
we assessed SDH activity by measuring the fumaric acid: succinic acid ratio and found it was significantly lower in the HT group
indicating a reduced enzymatic activity and accumulation of the reactant succinic acid
Riboflavin (vitamin B2) acts as an important cofactor for ETC and the function of SDH in particular
suggesting a potential role of marginal vitamin B2 deficiency in HT
the two groups had similar adherence scores to the Mediterranean Diet
suggesting a disrupted metabolism of endogenous fatty acids in the HT group rather than an increased intake of SFA
reduced sensitivity in capturing inter-individual differences
Another parameter to assess the non-difference in fatty acids intake was the levels of the essential fatty acids linoleic acid and a-linoleic acid which are exclusively obtained through diet and were similar between the two groups (p = 0.248 and 0.475 respectively)
indicating that more sophisticated techniques could be employed without compromising the primary results’ generality
Factors such as patient heterogeneity and variability in other parameters influence these estimations
studies often include 30–50 patients per treatment group
which aligns closely with the sample size utilized in the present investigation
the implementation of ANN analytical techniques in this study demonstrates their applicability to targeted metabolomics data
careful consideration of sample size and strategies to address overfitting are essential to optimize their effectiveness in medical research contexts
this study provides a detailed report of the differences between organic and fatty acids between Hashimoto and healthy individuals
generating a novel hypothesis that needs further exploration
we applied more stringent approaches in predictive modeling and regression analysis to explore the potency of certain metabolites as predictive biomarkers and identified an improved combination that reached fairly good predictive accuracy
the present study identified certain borderline significant metabolites
participating in central metabolic pathways
A possible explanation for the mild differences observed is that these metabolic networks are supplied by numerous metabolic pathways to maintain cellular function and counterbalance metabolic dysfunctions at different stages
the interpretation of metabolomic findings needs to be done with caution
assessing them within the context of metabolic networks rather than as single markers
such as DSPC and others employed in the present and previous studies
are expected to shed light on these borderline significance differences and especially their association with related phenotypical traits
such as dysfunctional TCA with fatigue in Hashimoto
although patients’ medical history was obtained and individuals with severe acute or chronic disease were excluded
routine biochemical and blood count testing would clarify potential clusters within the group
Age and BMI were different in females with HT compared to control
and although these variables did not affect the detected association between HT and the selected metabolic biomarkers
subgroup analysis using a larger sample size would provide in-depth insight into these associations
An in-depth subgroup analysis could reveal essential heterogeneities within the analyzed dataset
a comprehensive separate subgroup analysis was not conducted in this study
OLS regression with age and gender as predictors was performed to provide preliminary insights into potential subgroup effects
a complete subgroup analysis would necessitate either separate data analysis for each gender and age group or the generation of a regression model with interaction terms (age_group x Gender)
An additional limitation of this study is the absence of analyses pertaining to population differences across regions or ethnic groups
which may restrict the generalizability of our findings to broader populations
it is suggested that a more comprehensive population-specific analysis for distinct groups (Caucasians
people of African descent etc.) could be the focus of future research
the above points limit the generalizability of the present study’s findings to other populations
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is characterized by metabolic complications
affect the patient’s overall health and quality of life
we identified markers of mitochondrial dysfunction
carbohydrate and fatty acids metabolism malfunction and microbiome imbalance in HT
Early detection and monitoring of the underlying metabolic dysfunctions are critical in the decision-making process to achieve low levels of thyroid destruction and hormonal regulation
targeted strategies can significantly contribute to the alleviation of the pro-inflammatory status and the metabolic burden of HT

The Sarandí canal in Argentina turned blood red last week
Officials suspect a toxic substance used in dyes has entered the waterway
A canal in Argentina turned blood red last week and started producing a foul smell
Officials are still investigating the incident
but early reports suggest that a toxic substance used in dyes may have entered the waterway
"It looks like a stream of blood; we have never seen it like this," María Ducomls
The neighborhood along the canal hosts tanneries and other industries that turn animal skin into leather. Parts of the Sarandí also border a nature reserve, German broadcaster GW News reported

The department said it sent a mobile analysis lab to Sarandí and collected 0.4 gallons (2 liters) of water for chemical analysis and liquid chromatography
which separates components in a mixture — in this case
the department thought a colorant was responsible for the water's red hue
"It is thought to be some kind of organic colouring," the department said
Officials continue to investigate the source of the incident

Videos from a suburb of Argentina’s capital of Buenos Aires showing a bright red river has drawn international attention and reignited local fears of chemical dumping
Local residents told Argentinian news outlet C5N that this is not the first time an odd color has been seen in the Sarandí River
which use chemicals to turn animal skins into leather
“My husband left our house and said that it was all red," one local woman told C5N
with an acidic smell that hurts our throat."
The Argentinian Environment Ministry said they have taken water samples from the river to determine the cause of the water’s color change on Thursday, according to the BBC
Officials from the Avellaneda municipality suspect the presence of aniline in water samples taken on Friday morning, according to LA NACION
Aniline is a toxic substance that is used in dyes and medicines
Officials said they had lodged a complaint to the Buenos Aires province water authority
Maria Ducomls told LA NACION the water has been tainted in various colors many times
“It's been brown and all types of oils show up at the top [of the water].”
Ducomls also said residents have been lodging complaints regarding the contaminated river
but have been repeatedly been told there is no reason to worry

A small town outside of Buenos Aires, Argentina woke up to a blood red sight on Feb. 6, 2025, when the Sarandí Canal appeared bright red. Officials in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Avellaneda worried that the color change may have been the result of a toxic spill
Unfortunately for residents and the creatures that call the area home
this isn't the first time the Sarandí Canal has undergone a dramatic color change
Keep reading to learn more about what is going on with the Argentina canal that turned red, and what locals say is behind the water's macabre hue
Residents of Avellaneda were left reeling after discovering that the canal that ran along their homes had turned crimson
It's important to note the location is in a mixed residential and industrial area of Buenos Aires
The residents spoke to the Associated Press about the terrifying scene in their backyards, explaining they were frightened by the waterway's awful smell and peculiar color
"It looks like a stream of blood; we have never seen it like this," a woman named María Ducomls told the publication
Folks like Ducomls feared the worst after getting a look at the water, assuming that the change had been brought about by a toxic chemical spill. That's likely due to the Sarandí's proximity to massive industrial buildings that serve as tanneries, and even one that processes toxic waste
Officials are still searching for answers after retrieving samples from the water
According to initial testing performed by a mobile lab that collected samples on-site
it appeared that the blood red color was the result of a dye that had been added to the water
According to the New York Post, locals believe this may have been the result of factories along the canal dumping chemicals or dyes into the canal
which flows into the larger body of water known as the Río de la Plata
Despite the shock from some residents, others say this isn't the first time they've seen the Sarandí change colors. According to the BBC, A woman who went by the name Silvia said that while the canal was currently red, "other times it was yellow, with an acidic smell that makes us sick even in the throat."
Ducomls told the DW News something similar, claiming that local industrial companies had been known to dump waste in the canal
you don't have to be an inspector to see how much pollution the poor Sarandí River suffers from," she continued
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like Ducomls is exaggerating. A report from Infobae revealed that Buenos Aires had seen a 30% increase in accidents where toxic chemicals had been spilled
Given that DW News states that the Sarandí also runs along portions of a nature reserve
it seems even more important than ever that officials figure out a way to determine the cause of all of these spills so they can start working on a way to prevent them

A stream winding through a densely populated area on the outskirts of Buenos Aires has turned a shocking crimson red in recent hours
depicting the Sarandi stream’s eerie transformation
A normally unremarkable stream in Argentina has taken on an alarming appearance
leaving residents shocked and environmentalists concerned
which is a tributary of the Rio de la Plata
runs alongside numerous tanneries and other industries involved in processing animal hides into leather
and many believe they are responsible for the disturbing discolouration of the water
While the Sarandi stream has been known to exhibit unusual colours in the past—sometimes appearing oily
or even violet—the vivid red hue has struck an especially alarming chord with residents and environmental activists
described the overwhelming pollution in the area
“It looks like a stream of blood; we have never seen it like this,” she added

Industrial Pollution Strikes Sarandi Stream Again
This incident is not the first time the Sarandi stream has raised environmental concerns
The region has long struggled with pollution
with industrial waste frequently contaminating the waterway
Environmental groups have repeatedly called for stricter regulations and enforcement against industries that discharge untreated waste into local water sources
Experts warn that the presence of hazardous chemicals in the water could pose severe risks to human health and local wildlife
Given that the stream feeds into the Río de la Plata
there is also concern about broader ecological consequences
Authorities are expected to conduct water tests to determine the exact cause of the discolouration and whether it poses a health hazard
environmental activists and local organisations are urging the government to enforce stricter pollution controls to prevent further contamination of the Sarandi stream and other vulnerable waterways

The water of a stream in an industrial area in Argentina has turned red
The Ministry of the Environment of the province of Buenos Aires has taken water samples to determine the cause of the discoloration of the Sarandí stream
an official told the local television station Canal 13
Local residents have been complaining about the water pollution for years
The stream is located in the municipality of Avellaneda on the outskirts of the capital Buenos Aires and flows into the River Río de la Plata
There are numerous industrial plants in the area
According to the Ministry of the Environment
chemical analyses are to clarify which pollutants caused the discoloration
Local residents compared the deep red color of the stream to a "river of blood"
The drinking water also constantly comes out of the tap dirty and smelly

Massive floods in Brazil’s southern Rio Grande do Sul state have killed at least 75 people over the last seven days
At least 155 people were injured, while damage from the rains forced more than 88,000 people from their homes
Approximately 16,000 took refuge in schools
The floods left a wake of devastation, including landslides, washed-out roads and collapsed bridges across the state. Operators reported electricity and communications cuts. More than 800,000 people are without a water supply, according to the civil defense agency, which cited figures from water company Corsan.

A rescue team pulled an elderly man in serious medical condition into a helicopter from a remote area in the Bento Gonçalves municipality, according to footage from military firefighters. Torrents of brown water poured over a nearby dam.
On Saturday evening, residents in the town of Canoas stood up to their shoulders in muddy water and formed a human chain to pull boats carrying people to safety, according to video footage shared by local UOL news network.
The Guaiba river reached a record level of 5.33 meters (17.5 feet) on Sunday morning at 8 a.m. local time, surpassing levels seen during a historic 1941 deluge, when the river reached 4.76 meters.
“I repeat and insist: the devastation to which we are being subjected is unprecedented,” state Gov. Eduardo Leite said Sunday morning. He had previously said the state will need a “kind of ‘Marshall Plan’ to be rebuilt.”
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva visited Rio Grande do Sul for a second time on Sunday, accompanied by Defense Minister José Múcio, Finance Minister Fernando Haddad and Environment Minister Marina Silva, among others. The leftist leader and his team surveyed the flooded streets of Porto Alegre from a helicopter.
“We need to stop running behind disasters. We need to see in advance what calamities might happen and we need to work,” Lula told journalists afterwards.
During Sunday mass at the Vatican, Pope Francis said he was praying for the state’s population. “May the Lord welcome the dead and comfort their families and those who had to abandon their homes,” he said.
The downpour started Monday and was expected to last through Sunday. In some areas, such as valleys, mountain slopes and cities, more than 300 millimeters (11.8 inches) of rain fell in less than a week, according to Brazil’s National Institute of Meteorology, known by the Portuguese acronym INMET, on Thursday.
The heavy rains were the fourth such environmental disaster in the state in a year, following floods in July, September and November 2023 that killed 75 people.
Weather across South America is affected by the climate phenomenon El Niño, a periodic, naturally occurring event that warms surface waters in the Equatorial Pacific region. In Brazil, El Niño has historically caused droughts in the north and intense rainfall in the south.
This year, the impacts of El Niño have been particularly dramatic, with a historic drought in the Amazon. Scientists say extreme weather is happening more frequently due to human-caused climate change.
“These tragedies will continue to happen, increasingly worse and more frequent,” said Suely Araújo, a public policy coordinator at the Climate Observatory, a network of dozens of environmental and social groups.
Brazil needs to adjust to the effects of climate change, she said in a Friday statement, referring to a process known as adaptation.

Psoriasis is a common inflammatory disease that affects mainly the skin
the moderate to severe forms have been associated with several comorbidities
metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease
Keratinocytes and T helper cells are the dominant cell types involved in psoriasis development via a complex crosstalk between epithelial cells
peripheral immune cells and immune cells residing in the skin
Immunometabolism has emerged as a potent mechanism elucidating the aetiopathogenesis of psoriasis
offering novel specific targets to diagnose and treat psoriasis early
The present article discusses the metabolic reprogramming of activated T cells
tissue-resident memory T cells and keratinocytes in psoriatic skin
presenting associated metabolic biomarkers and therapeutic targets
keratinocytes and activated T cells are glycolysis dependent and are characterized by disruptions in the TCA cycle
the amino acid metabolism and the fatty acid metabolism
Upregulation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) results in hyperproliferation and cytokine secretion by immune cells and keratinocytes
Metabolic reprogramming through the inhibition of affected metabolic pathways and the dietary restoration of metabolic imbalances may thus present a potent therapeutic opportunity to achieve long-term management of psoriasis and improved quality of life with minimum adverse effects
Since different subsets of helper cells have been considered key players in psoriasis’ immunological pathways
interest has increasingly been focused on elucidating the impact of metabolism on the immune system’s function of psoriasis patients
could provide critical points for investigating how metabolic cellular reactions and processes may control immunity and inflammation
offering novel tools for monitoring and managing immune-mediated diseases
Given that emerging evidence suggests targeting specific metabolic events as a strategy to limit cutaneous inflammation
this review will first focus on the potential mechanisms underlying the association between the metabolic reprogramming of the critical cell players and inflammatory skin responses of psoriasis
Potential metabolic biomarkers and therapeutic anti-psoriatic approaches integrating immune/metabolic responses from the published literature are also summarized
Psoriasis is widely regarded as a multifactorial immune-related disease triggered by environmental factors in the background of genetic predisposition
Although the precise pathogenetic mechanisms have yet to be deciphered
psoriasis seems to be controlled by endogenous and exogenous factors
Although the exact role of HLA-C in psoriasis development remains unclear
there seems to be an interplay/relation between HLA-Cw6 status and immune dysregulation in psoriasis patients
While genetic factors are well documented in psoriasis
such as mechanical skin trauma and inflammation
the lack of adequate data and the specific role of autoantibodies in the inflammatory cascade that initiate psoriasis have stalled the unwinding progression to the disease etiology
Metabolic derangements in T cells (top) and keratinocytes (bottom) in psoriasis
Metabolic derangements in activated T cells aim to cover their needs in energy and substrates (enhanced glycolysis and downstream energy metabolism pathways
T cells residing in the skin (such as memory T cells) rely on the uptake of lipids from the lipid-rich and low-glucose microenvironment
Damaged keratinocytes upregulate glycolytic pathways to cover their proliferative demands as well (shown in bold)
Activation of the mammalian target of the rapamycin (mTOR) pathway via the increased amino acid availability and the abundance of pro-inflammatory mediators facilitates the high proliferation and cytokine secretion by activated T cells and keratinocytes
Increased influx of glucose and amino acids is facilitated by the overexpression of the respective transporters on the cell membrane of T cells and keratinocytes (shown in bold)
Only primary substrates are shown for each transporter
Gut microbiome deregulation and the aberrant production of microbial metabolites result in intestinal permeability
activation of pro-inflammatory Th-17 cells and suppression of Tregs
while it promotes the disruption of the epidermis integrity
odium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter; TCA
tissue-resident memory cells [Modified from (21)]
GLUT1 might thus serve as an attractive therapeutic target in hyperproliferative skin diseases
LAT-2 and LAT-3 transporters, responsible for transporting several other amino acids, support LAT-1 function by forming heterodimers with CD-98. Inhibition of the LAT-1 transporter in the IMQ animal model did not suppress epidermal proliferation indicating the compensatory role for other transporters of the LAT family (Cibrian et al., 2020b)
our improved understanding of skin and T cell immunometabolism
coupled with the interplay between metabolic and inflammatory pathways
has led to significant progress in biomarker discovery
paving the way for novel targeted treatments
which will be discussed in the following sections
Studies focusing on the metabolism of psoriasis have yielded insightful findings prompting researchers to investigate potential biomarkers that will deepen our knowledge of the complex relationship between metabolism and immune responses and serve as prognostic tools
The field focused on the study of metabolism is metabolomics
which as part of the other -omics sciences such as genomics and proteomics
has multiple applications in basic research and biomarker discovery
Metabolic biomarkers in psoriasis related to energy metabolism
inflammation and insulin resistance and the gut microbiome
2-Ketoglutaric acid has been found to be higher in the serum of patients with psoriasis compared to healthy individuals but lower compared to psoriatic arthritis patients (Armstrong et al., 2014)
2-Ketoglutaric acid has a dual role as a TCA cycle intermediate and as a precursor of glutamate
which is further metabolized to proline for collagen synthesis
increasing 2- ketoglutaric acid may be due to an increased need for glutamine
given the central role of this metabolite in multiple pathways
a causal relationship has not been established requiring additional markers
Metabolism of free fatty acids is mediated by carnitine, an amine that functions as a transporter of long-chain fatty acids to mitochondria for beta-oxidation. Carnitine also acts as a scavenger contributing to the clearance of amino acid metabolism intermediates. The binding of fatty acids to carnitine is mediated by carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1 (CPT-1). CPT-1 pharmacological suppression resulted in reduced production and survival of the skin TRM (Pan et al., 2017)
Longitudinal studies of healthy populations with present metabolic dysfunctions
will validate the predictive value of such biomarkers in psoriasis and reinforce the role of metabolic reprogramming in psoriasis
Other studies on circulating levels of amino acids have identified downstream metabolites of the glutamine/glutamate pathway, the urea cycle, and the metabolism of tryptophan and phenylalanine, which, according to researchers, are implicated in the development of psoriatic lesions (Koussiouris et al., 2021)
Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the metabolites related to gut dysbiosis would open a new path in biomarker discovery of psoriasis through the involvement of gut microbiota and novel metabolic therapeutic targets
Current treatment approaches for psoriasis are mainly based on disease severity and the presence of psoriatic arthritis. In mild to moderate cases, treatment mainly includes topical anti-psoriatic agents, i.e., topical steroids, topical calcineurin inhibitors, vitamin D analogs, and retinoids), while, in severe cases, systemic, classical or biological therapies are usually required (Armstrong and Read, 2020)
Several therapies targeting immunometabolism exist, including pharmacological agents with known anti-inflammatory properties that target metabolism, such as metformin, dimethyl fumarate and methotrexate, reviewed by Pålsson-McDermott and O’Neill (2020)
novel targeted therapies are emerging based on immune cells’ and keratinocytes’ different metabolic demands
The distinctive advantage of these therapeutic strategies lies in the selectivity of the drug against cells undergoing metabolic reprogramming
which leaves normal cells unaffected and preserves tissue homeostasis
(dietary) supplementation with n-3 fatty acids might be a helpful adjuvant in psoriasis treatment
restoration of the microbial community can directly or indirectly benefit patients receiving therapy
while gut microbiome biomarkers may serve as predictive markers of treatment selection
Available study results on the efficacy of metabolic targeting of psoriasis can be grouped into four categories; Energy metabolism
Targeting specific metabolic networks of affected cells in psoriasis to reprogram pro-inflammatory cells to their normal state is an attractive approach to increase efficacy and reduce relapse and side effects
Therapeutic opportunities for psoriasis targeting metabolic pathways through pharmacological agents and supportive dietary recommendations
Our understanding of the intertwined processes of metabolism
cell function and immune responses in psoriasis is still growing
metabolic disruptions in energy production pathways
amino acids and lipids metabolism and dysbiosis seem to be common
prompting us to look for novel diagnostic and therapeutic tools
up-to-date studies have identified several metabolic biomarkers associated with the distinct metabolic fingerprint of psoriasis or associated metabolic complications such as IR
These metabolic pathways can also be targeted through drug inhibitors to limit the immune response and keratinocyte hyperproliferation
tailor-made nutritional plans to restore metabolic imbalances
thus protecting unaffected cells and promoting anti-inflammatory and resolution pathways
can contribute to the long-term control of psoriasis
metabolomic studies have several limitations
including the variability between studies due to the lack of a standardized method and study design that hampers reproducibility and interpretation of the findings
different population characteristics and lack of validation datasets significantly stall the biomarker discovery process
The metabolic rewiring of cells that promote inflammation and psoriasis progression to their normal state to resolve inflammation is an exciting yet growing field
and future clinical trials are needed to investigate their application in human real life settings
monitoring metabolic fluctuations as part of the early diagnosis of metabolic comorbidities
prevention and treatment optimization has emerged as a powerful strategy for psoriasis and ongoing ventures report encouraging findings
With the use of metabolic biomarkers to close monitor the response to treatment and overall metabolic health
clinicians will be able to provide long-term therapy for psoriasis and prevention
early diagnosis and treatment of related comorbidities
Future studies in this direction should focus on longitudinal interventional studies to validate these biomarkers and large metabolomics studies to report differences across populations

Joel Sonora has officially joined Argentina Primera Division side Arsenal de Sarandi on loan for the 2019-20 season
The club announced on Thursday they’ve signed Sonora from 2
Sonora totaled 56 appearances for Stuttgart’s second team over three seasons
#ArsenalFútbolClub Los mediocampistas Joel Soñora (@Sojoel1) y Diego Núñez firmaron sus respectivos contratos con el club y ya forman parte del plantel. Felicitaciones y éxitos !!! pic.twitter.com/vj7i6ttTrk
— Arsenal Fútbol Club (@ArsenalOficial) August 1, 2019
The midfielder spent last season on loan as well with fellow Argentina top-flight side Talleres de Cordoba
In 21 combined appearances between league and cup play
Sonora scored one goal and registered two assists
U-20 Men’s National Team at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup
He is the son of former Boca Juniors and later MLS player Diego Sonora
His brother Alan is also playing domestically in Argentina with Independiente
The brothers are expected to meet in league play on Sept
Arsenal gained promotion back into the top-flight last season and are currently fourth in the Primera Division table after one matchday
was wondering the same thing…..definitely an opportunity missed for that age group to continue to develop and gel together before Olympic Qualifying smh
Dynamo had a player from there a decade ago who could only manage 10 appearances before leaving to bounce around between Argentine teams you’ve never heard of and the Italian Serie C/D
