TLDR Chloroform extract from onchidiid snail promotes hair growth in rats.
This study investigated the effectiveness of ethanol and chloroform extracts from the onchidiid snail on hair growth in white rats (Rattus norvegicus). The rats were divided into four groups, including a negative control, a positive control with candlenut oil, and two treatment groups with chloroform and ethanol extracts. Over 14 days, the chloroform extract group showed the most significant hair growth, achieving 1.61 cm, indicating that the chloroform extract of the onchidiid snail effectively promotes hair growth in male Wistar strain white rats.
