Coat Condition, Housing Condition, And Measurement Of Fecal Cortisol Metabolites: A Non-Invasive Study About Alopecia In Captive Rhesus Macaques (Macaca Mulatta)

research Coat Condition, Housing Condition, And Measurement Of Fecal Cortisol Metabolites: A Non-Invasive Study About Alopecia In Captive Rhesus Macaques (Macaca Mulatta)

51 citations , November 2005 in “Journal of Medical Primatology”

This study observed that hair loss in captive rhesus macaques varies with season, sex, and housing conditions, and is significantly correlated with HPA axis activity as indicated by faecal cortisol metabolites.

20 citations , October 2005 in “Archives of Dermatological Research”

research Adult-Onset Hair Loss in Chesapeake Bay Retrievers: A Clinical and Histological Study

8 citations , February 2005 in “Veterinary dermatology”

This study suggests that hair loss in Chesapeake Bay retrievers is a breed-specific syndrome characterized by unique histological features and abnormal steroid production, possibly influenced by familial factors.

research Alopecia Areata with Lymphocytic Mural Folliculitis Affecting the Isthmus in a Thoroughbred Mare

14 citations , August 2004 in “Veterinary Dermatology”

In this study, a thoroughbred mare exhibited a unique case of alopecia areata with lymphocytic infiltration at both the bulbar and isthmic levels of hair follicles.

research Morphologic and Immunologic Characterization of a Canine Isthmus Mural Folliculitis Resembling Pseudopelade of Humans

13 citations , March 2000 in “Veterinary Dermatology”

This study characterized a novel form of mural folliculitis in dogs, resembling human pseudopelade, marked by persistent alopecia, lymphocyte infiltration, and severe follicular atrophy without effective treatment response.

research Novel Hairless Mutations in Two Kindreds with Autosomal Recessive Papular Atrichia

66 citations , December 1999 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

New mutations in the hairless gene may cause hair loss and affect bone development.

research The Role of the Hairless (Hr) Gene in the Regulation of Hair Follicle Catagen Transformation

166 citations , July 1999 in “American Journal Of Pathology”

This study found that the loss of a functional hr gene in mice leads to premature and abnormal hair follicle regression, disrupting normal hair cycling and architecture.
