research Comparison of N-Acetyl Cysteine with Metformin on Clinical Profile in Anovulatory Infertile Women with PCOS
N-acetyl cysteine and metformin both improved fertility in women with PCOS equally, but N-acetyl cysteine had fewer side effects.
research TRAIL Sensitization of PC3 Prostate Cancer Cells by Doxorubicin Can Be Blocked by the Antioxidant N-Acetyl-Cysteine or by the Iron Chelator Deferoxamine
Antioxidants can block the cancer-fighting effects of doxorubicin.
research Efficacy and Tolerability of N-Acetyl-Cysteine for Treatment of Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
N-acetyl-cysteine improves hair growth and is safe for treating early male hair loss.
research Evidence of Hair Loss After Subacute Exposure to 2-Chloroethyl Ethyl Sulfide, a Mustard Analog, and Beneficial Effects of N-Acetylcysteine
Mustard gas exposure causes hair loss, but treating with N-acetylcysteine can prevent it.
research Organization and Expression of Hair Follicle Genes
Hair growth is controlled by specific gene clusters and proteins, and cysteine affects hair gene expression in sheep.
research Analysis of Heterogeneous Reaction Between Reducing Agents and Keratin Fibers Using Raman Spectroscopy and Microspectrophotometry
The study found that thioglycolic acid breaks down hair bonds more consistently than l-cysteine, which is less damaging to hair.
research Diagnosis and Treatment of Trichotillomania
Behavioral therapy, N-acetyl cysteine, and olanzapine may help treat trichotillomania.
research Human Hair Keratin-Associated Proteins
Hair keratin-associated proteins are essential for strong hair, with over 80 genes showing specific patterns and variations among people.
research Mammalian Keratin-Associated Proteins (KRTAPs) Subgenomes: Disentangling Hair Diversity and Adaptation to Terrestrial and Aquatic Environments
Different hair types in mammals are linked to variations in specific protein genes, with changes influenced by their living environments.
research Hair Keratin Associated Proteins: Characterization of a Second High Sulfur KAP Gene Domain on Human Chromosome 21 in Fond Memory of Dr. Peter Steinert
A second domain of high sulfur KAP genes on chromosome 21q23 is crucial for hair structure.
research Characterization of Human KAP24.1, A Cuticular Hair Keratin-Associated Protein with Unusual Amino Acid Composition and Repeat Structure
Scientists discovered a unique hair protein, KAP24.1, with a special structure, found only in the upper part of hair cuticles.
research Protein And Sulfur Amino Acid Nutrition Of Hair Fiber-Producing Angora And Cashmere Goats
Giving high-quality protein or methionine supplements helps improve hair growth in Angora goats and, to a lesser extent, in Cashmere goats.
research Proteomic Tools for the Investigation of Human Hair Structural Proteins and Evidence of Weakness Sites on Hair Keratin Coil Segments
Hair proteins have weak spots in their α-helical segments.
research Distribution and Localization of Hydrophobic and Ionic Chemical Groups at the Surface of Bleached Human Hair Fibers
Bleaching hair removes its protective top layer and exposes more hydrophilic groups, changing its chemical surface and affecting how it interacts with products.
research Size Polymorphisms in the Human Ultrahigh Sulfur Hair Keratin-Associated Protein 4, KAP4, Gene Family
The study found that variations in hair protein genes are likely due to evolutionary deletions or duplications.
research The Sheep KAP8-2 Gene, A New KAP8 Family Member That Is Absent In Humans
Sheep have a unique gene, KAP8-2, that humans don't have, which may affect wool properties.
research Investigation of the Damage on the Outermost Hair Surface Using ToF-SIMS and XPS
Bleaching hair causes significant damage by breaking down proteins and fatty acids.
research Permanent Waving and Hair Straightening
Thioglycolate lotions are the most popular method for permanent waving and hair straightening.
research Evolution of Trichocyte Keratins
Hair keratins evolved from ancient proteins, diversifying through gene changes, crucial for forming claws and later hair in mammals.
research Molecular Modeling and Structural Characterization of a High Glycine–Tyrosine Hair Keratin Associated Protein
The 3D structure of a key hair protein was modeled, revealing specific helical structures and stabilization features.
research Nutrition of Women with Hair Loss During Menopause
Eating a balanced diet with specific nutrients is important for menopausal women to manage hair loss.
