    TLDR Patients with hair pigment loss and hair loss may have altered pantothenic acid metabolism.
    The study investigates the excretion of pantothenic acid in patients suffering from achromotrichia (loss of hair pigment) and alopecia (hair loss). The research, conducted by Dr. Vagn Schmidt, was published in the Journal of Gerontology in October 1951. The findings suggest a potential link between the levels of pantothenic acid excretion and the conditions of achromotrichia and alopecia, indicating that these patients may have altered metabolism or deficiencies related to this vitamin. Further research is needed to understand the implications and potential treatments.
