Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune condition characterized by the destruction of melanocytes, leading to patchy loss of skin depigmentation. Although its precise cause remains unclear, recent evidence suggests that metabolic disturbances, particularly oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, may play a significant role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Oxidative stress is thought to damage melanocytes and trigger inflammatory responses, culminating in melanocyte immune-mediate destruction. Additionally, patients with vitiligo often exhibit extra-cutaneous metabolic abnormalities such as
