TLDR Antioxidants like catalase are important for preventing hair loss conditions like alopecia.
The document discusses the role of antioxidants, specifically the enzyme catalase, in the hair infundibulum and its implications for hair diseases like alopecia. Catalase is crucial for breaking down hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen, a process that generates energy and is essential for cellular metabolism and bioelectricity. The depletion of catalase can lead to cell death, suggesting its importance in maintaining hair health and preventing conditions such as alopecia. The study highlights the significance of antioxidants in the hair follicle's metabolic processes and their potential impact on hair diseases.
