research Reproductive Seasonality and Maturation Throughout the Complete Life-Cycle in the Mouflon Ram (Ovis Musimon)
Mouflon rams mature gradually with changes in body, horns, and hormones linked to age and seasons, reaching full sexual maturity well after puberty.
research Thyroid Hormone and Wound Healing
Thyroid hormone may speed up wound healing and hair growth, but more research is needed to understand its role in skin repair and use as a treatment.
research Discovery of Genes and Proteins Possibly Regulating Mean Wool Fibre Diameter Using cDNA Microarray and Proteomic Approaches
Researchers identified genes and proteins that may influence wool thickness in sheep.
research Human Scalp Hair Follicles Are Both a Target and a Source of Prolactin, Which Serves as an Autocrine and/or Paracrine Promoter of Apoptosis-Driven Hair Follicle Regression
Prolactin contributes to hair loss by promoting hair follicle shrinkage and cell death.
research Prolactin and the Skin: A Dermatological Perspective on an Ancient Pleiotropic Peptide Hormone
Prolactin affects hair growth and skin conditions, and could be a target for new skin disease treatments.
research Hormonal Regulation of Hair Follicles Exhibits a Biological Paradox
Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.
research Effect of Constant-Release Melatonin Implants and Prolonged Exposure to a Long Day Photoperiod on Prolactin Secretion and Hair Growth in Mouflon (Ovis Gmelini Musimon)
Melatonin implants and long daylight hours alter the timing of hormone release and hair growth in mouflon sheep.
research Thyroid Hormone Action on Skin
Thyroid hormone affects skin health, with too little causing rough, pale skin and too much leading to smooth, thin skin, and may also impact wound healing and skin conditions.
research Thyroid Hormone Action on Skin
Thyroid hormones are important for skin health and might help treat skin diseases, but more research is needed to understand their effects fully.
research Oral Zinc Sulphate Causes Murine Hair Hypopigmentation And Is A Potent Inhibitor Of Eumelanogenesis In Vivo
Oral zinc sulphate reduces dark hair color in mice.
research Hair Follicle Characteristics and Fiber Production in South American Camelids
South American camelids should be sheared early, fleece type affects fiber quality, and the S/P follicle ratio doesn't distinguish between Bolivian llama genotypes.
research Thyroid Hormone Action on Skin
Thyroid hormones affect skin texture, hair and nail growth, and can cause skin diseases related to thyroid problems.
research The Nutritional Biochemistry of Wool and Hair Follicles
Nutrients like vitamins, copper, zinc, and amino acids are crucial for healthy hair and wool growth.
research Effects of Different Dietary Protein Levels and DL-Methionine Supplementation on Hair Growth and Pelt Quality in Mink (Neovison Vison)
Higher protein diets with DL-methionine improve mink hair growth and fur quality.
research The Biology of Hair Growth
Hair growth is influenced by hormones and goes through different phases; androgens can both promote and inhibit hair growth depending on the body area.
research Hair Follicle Culture
Hair follicle culture helps study hair growth but has limitations in modeling the full hair cycle.
research Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: The Degradation and Conservation of Archaeological Hair Fibers
Acidic sandy clay damages archaeological hair the most, while dry conditions preserve but make it brittle; silicone oil can help keep the hair flexible.
research Potential Therapeutic Uses of Thyroid Hormone
Thyroid hormone may be useful for treating various skin conditions and needs more research.
research Effects of the Level and Composition of Concentrate Supplements Before Breeding and in Early Gestation on Production of Different Hair Sheep Breeds
research Animal and In Vitro Models for the Study of Hair Follicles
Understanding hair follicles through various models can help develop new treatments for hair disorders.
research Control of Lice Infestation in Horses Using a 10 mg/mL Deltamethrin Topical Application
The deltamethrin solution effectively and safely treats and prevents lice in horses for up to one month.
research Serum Prolactin Levels in Adult Females with Telogen Effluvium: A Case Control Study
Women with a certain type of hair loss had lower levels of a hormone called prolactin compared to healthy women.
research Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Fortified Biscuits as a Nutritional Supplement for Zinc Deficient Rats
Zinc oxide nanoparticle biscuits improved growth and health in zinc-deficient rats without toxicity.
research Melatonin and the Hair Follicle
Melatonin helps regulate hair growth and protects the hair follicle from stress.
research Influence of Feed Restriction on the Wool Proteome: A Combined iTRAQ and Fiber Structural Study
Feed restriction in sheep leads to finer wool fibers but may reduce wool quality.
research The New Paradigm for Androgenetic Alopecia and Plant-Based Folk Remedies: 5α-Reductase Inhibition, Reversal of Secondary Microinflammation, and Improving Insulin Resistance
Plant-based remedies may treat hair loss by reducing inflammation and improving insulin resistance.
research Comparative Study on Seasonal Hair Follicle Cycling by Analysis of the Transcriptomes from Cashmere and Milk Goats
