Metabolic reconfiguration in vitiligo: progress and future / 中华皮肤科杂志

ABSTRACT

Based on the results of the latest basic research on vitiligo, this article elucidates the significance of reconfiguration of glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and metabolism of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of vitiligo, attempts to delineate a panoramic picture of metabolic reconfiguration in vitiligo, and discusses the importance of dialectically and uniformly grasping the crosstalk between multiple metabolic pathways, and of thinking about the mechanisms of action of multiple metabolic pathway reconfiguration in the occurrence of vitiligo in individuals from a holistic perspective in future basic studies, in order to promote the understanding of the vitiligo pathogenesis and explore potential treatment methods for vitiligo.
