Evaluation of Atherogenic Indexes in Patients With Lichen Planopilaris: A Case-Control Study
Our study shows that patients with LPP have a higher pro-atherogenic lipid profile and atherogenic indexes. Systemic inflammation and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor signaling dysregulation may underlie this association, necessitating closer cardiovascular and lipid monitoring in LPP patients.
