Relationship of Pantothenic Acid and Inositol to Alopecia in Mice

    TLDR Pantothenic acid and inositol are essential to prevent hair loss in mice.
    The study investigated the effects of pantothenic acid and inositol on alopecia in mice. It was found that mice developed hair loss when maintained on a purified diet lacking these nutrients. Inositol was identified as a curative agent for alopecia, but even with inositol present, hair loss occurred if pantothenic acid was absent. The research highlighted the necessity of pantothenic acid in preventing alopecia, suggesting that both pantothenic acid and inositol are essential for maintaining healthy hair in mice.
