Oral Zinc Sulphate Causes Murine Hair Hypopigmentation And Is A Potent Inhibitor Of Eumelanogenesis In Vivo
TLDR Oral zinc sulphate reduces dark hair color in mice.
The study investigated the effects of oral zinc sulphate on hair pigmentation in mice and found that it caused significant hair hypopigmentation. The researchers concluded that zinc sulphate is a potent inhibitor of eumelanogenesis in vivo, meaning it effectively reduces the production of eumelanin, the pigment responsible for dark hair coloration. This finding suggested potential implications for understanding hair pigmentation processes and developing treatments for pigmentation disorders.
