20 / 222 resultsresearch Do Dietary Levels of Pantothenic Acid Regulate Its Intestinal Uptake in Mice?
This study found that intestinal uptake of pantothenic acid in mice was not affected by dietary levels but may increase slightly in late-stage deficiency, though likely not significantly.
research Relationship of Pantothenic Acid and Inositol to Alopecia in Mice
This study found that mice developed alopecia when deficient in pantothenic acid, even when inositol was present.
research Pantothenic Acid Deficiency in Baby Pigs
This study found that daily supplementation with 10 to 20 mg of calcium pantothenate led to complete recovery and significant improvement in appetite and growth in young pigs with pantothenic acid deficiency.
research Pantothenic Acid Promotes Dermal Papilla Cell Proliferation in Hair Follicles of American Minks via Inhibitor of DNA Binding 3/Notch Signaling Pathway
In this study, pantothenic acid at 20 μg/ml was observed to promote dermal papilla cell proliferation and migration, likely through up-regulation of ID3 and inhibition of Notch signaling.
research The Excretion of Pantothenic Acid in Patients with Achromotrichia and Alopecia
This study reported on the excretion levels of pantothenic acid in patients experiencing achromotrichia and alopecia but did not present new clinical results.
research Scientific Opinion on the Substantiation of a Health Claim Related to a Combination of Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Pyridoxine, D-Biotin, and Pumpkin Seed Oil and Maintenance of Normal Hair Pursuant to Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006
The Panel concluded that there is no established cause and effect relationship between the specified vitamin and pumpkin seed oil combination and the maintenance of normal hair in healthy adults.
research Nutrition and Hair: The Role of Nutrients in Hair Health
This article reviews the impact of nutritional deficiencies on hair health, detailing how they can cause structural abnormalities, pigmentation changes, or hair loss; it presents no new clinical findings.
research Transport of Biotin in Human Keratinocytes
This study found that human keratinocytes express a sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter for biotin, pantothenic acid, and lipoic acid, including a highly specific biotin transport component.
research Dietary Supplement Increases Anagen Hair Rate in Women With Telogen Effluvium: Results of a Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial
This study found that a dietary supplement containing L-cystine, medicinal yeast, and pantothenic acid significantly improved hair growth in women with telogen effluvium over six months compared to placebo.
research Some Observations on Vitamin Metabolism in Germ-Free Rats
This study found that male germ-free rats fed semisynthetic diets do not grow as rapidly as their conventional counterparts and require dietary biotin for normal metabolism and folic acid biosynthesis.
research Synthesis of Inositol in Mice
This study found that mice can synthesize inositol, but this ability is impaired when pantothenic acid is lacking in their diet.
research The Nutritional Biochemistry of Wool and Hair Follicles
This article explores how various nutrients and metabolic processes impact wool and hair follicle function in animals but reports no new experimental findings.
research Dexpanthenol Promotes Cell Growth by Preventing Cell Senescence and Apoptosis in Cultured Human Hair Follicle Cells
This study suggests that D-panthenol may promote hair growth by enhancing cell viability, suppressing apoptosis markers, and elongating the anagen phase in human hair follicle cells.
research Premature Graying of Hair: Risk Factors, Co-Morbid Conditions, Pharmacotherapy and Reversal—A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
This review discusses premature graying of hair, highlighting risk factors like smoking and vitamin deficiencies, and suggests that addressing underlying conditions may reverse the graying process.
research Evaluation of Vitamin B6 and Calcium Pantothenate Effectiveness on Hair Growth from Clinical and Trichographic Aspects for Treatment of Diffuse Alopecia in Women
This study found that vitamin B6 injections over several weeks improved hair condition and reduced hair loss in some women with diffuse alopecia, while calcium pantothenate had no clear positive effect.
research Efficacy of Intramuscular Injections of Biotin and Dexpanthenol in the Treatment of Diffuse Hair Loss: A Randomized, Double-Blind Controlled Study Comparing Two Brands
This study found that a 6-week treatment with both brands of biotin and dexpanthenol significantly improved hair fall count and hair density in people with diffuse pattern hair loss, with no significant difference between the two brands.
research Scientific Opinion on the Substantiation of a Health Claim Related to KF2BL20 and Maintenance of Normal Hair Pursuant to Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006

research Effectiveness, Tolerability, and Acceptance of a Food Supplement in the Management of Non-Illness-Related Hair Loss and Thinning
This study found that a nutritional supplement containing millet extract, pantothenic acid, L-cystine, and biotin significantly increased hair density, improved hair growth and appearance, and reduced hair loss by 59% in 112 healthy subjects with light diffuse hair loss over 12 weeks.
research Advanced Applications of Vitamin B Complex in Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Benefits
This review highlights the important role of the vitamin B complex in enhancing tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and improving surgical outcomes in plastic and reconstructive procedures by supporting cellular processes such as mitochondrial efficiency, neurotransmitter biosynthesis, and wound healing pathways.
research The Vitamin B5/Coenzyme A Axis: A Target for Immunomodulation?
This review discusses the potential of targeting Coenzyme A metabolism to restore metabolic balance, reduce chronic inflammation, and enhance immune function, particularly by modulating Vitamin B5 pathways involved in Th17-mediated inflammation and CD8-dependent anti-tumor immunity.
