Irritation And Hair Growth Activity Test Of Male S-D Mice: Effect Of Gel Containing Apigenin And Celery Juice
January 2015
TLDR The gel with apigenin and celery juice promotes hair growth without causing skin irritation.
The study investigated the effects of a gel containing apigenin and celery juice on hair growth and skin irritation in male Sprague-Dawley mice. The irritation test, conducted using the Kamkaen and Rao method, showed that all gel formulations were not likely to cause skin irritation (p>0.05). The hair growth activity, assessed using the Hattori-Ogawa and Suzuki-Hamada methods, indicated that the gel with apigenin and celery juice was more effective in promoting hair growth compared to other formulations.
