Assessment of serum chemerin levels in acanthosis nigricans: A case-control study.

Background: Acanthosis nigricans (AN) is an asymptomatic skin condition linked to several underlying systemic conditions. Chemerin is an adipokine that increases during inflammatory disorders such as metabolic syndrome (MetS).

Aims: This case-control study investigates the link between AN and the underlying MetS and serum levels of chemerin in individuals with obesity.
