Serum Holotranscobalamin, Vitamin B12, Folic Acid, and Homocysteine Levels in Alopecia Areata Patients

The study investigated serum levels of holotranscobalamin, vitamin B12, folic acid, and homocysteine in patients with alopecia areata. The researchers aimed to determine if there was a correlation between these biochemical markers and the presence of alopecia areata. The findings suggested that there were significant differences in the levels of these markers in patients with alopecia areata compared to healthy controls, indicating a potential link between these nutrients and the condition. This could imply that monitoring and managing these levels might be important in the treatment or understanding of alopecia areata.
