In this study, researchers found that stress likely triggers symmetrical alopecia in Formosan macaques in Mt. Longevity, Taiwan, with higher stress hormone levels associated with the condition.

This study found that stress is likely the main cause of symmetrical alopecia in Formosan macaques, with higher stress hormone levels observed in affected individuals.

This study observed that alopecia in rhesus macaques follows a seasonal pattern, with the highest hair loss in spring, and varies with reproductive state, as pregnant females experience the most significant alopecia and lowest hair regrowth, which resumes postpartum.

In this study, pregnant women in their third trimester with hair loss reported higher levels of pregnancy-specific distress compared to those without hair loss, indicating distress might contribute independently to hair loss without significant laboratory abnormalities.

This study found that diffuse alopecia in female squirrel monkeys is associated with chronic telogen effluvium and appears to be predominantly age-related, potentially serving as an animal model for human diffuse alopecia.
