This chapter discusses the production, metabolism, and mechanism of action of Vitamin D, including its role in calcium and phosphate metabolism and its function in the epidermis and hair follicles, without presenting new research findings.

This study found that sheep wool follicles actively oxidize acetate and glucose, suggesting the involvement of the TCA cycle for compound synthesis and the potential role of the pentose phosphate pathway in ribose production for RNA and DNA.

This study assessed the environmental impact of the drug finasteride on Daphnia magna, finding that both acute and chronic exposure impaired development and reproduction, affected gene expression and metabolism, and altered lipid profiles, highlighting the need to understand pharmaceutical impacts on aquatic ecosystems.

This study investigated alkaline phosphatase activity in scalp biopsies from patients with alopecia areata and totalis, but provides no new conclusive clinical results.

This study found that cutaneous pyridoxal 5'-phosphate hydrolase activity may be carried out by an enzyme different from the classical tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase in human and mouse skin.
