Abstrakt: Keywords: hydrogen peroxide (H2O2); insulin-like growth factor-1; melanocyte; reactive oxygen species (ROS) EN hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) insulin-like growth factor-1 melanocyte reactive oxygen species (ROS) e188 e191 4 05/12/23 20230501 NES 230501 Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) has been rising as a putative player in the multifactorial complex pathogenesis of vitiligo.[1] Although the studies culminating in this status are not many, clearly, they are highly supportive. Limitations of the current study were not assessing the levels of IGF-1 in perilesional skin and non-affected skin and not correlating levels of IGF-1 with markers of oxidative stress. The finding, in the present work, that serum IGF-1 is highly sensitive as a marker in vitiligo diagnosis, surpassing skin IGF-1 sensitivity, may further support the systemic nature of the disease (Figure 3).
