TLDR Women with telogen effluvium have an imbalance in thiol-disulphide, suggesting oxidative stress may contribute to hair loss.
The study investigated the balance of thiol-disulphide in women with telogen effluvium, a condition characterized by hair loss. The research was presented at the 25th EADV Congress. The findings suggested that there was an imbalance in the thiol-disulphide homeostasis in patients with telogen effluvium, indicating oxidative stress might play a role in the pathogenesis of this condition. The study provided insights into the biochemical changes associated with telogen effluvium, potentially guiding future therapeutic approaches. However, the document did not specify the number of participants involved in the study.
