The response to treatment in psoriasis vulgaris may be correlated with the levels of antioxidant GSH activity which may be increased in cases who are not or poorly responding to therapy
Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay, apoptosis by TUNEL staining and Western blotting, oxidative stress by ROS detection and measurement of glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malondialdehyde (MDA)
