research Prolactin Delays Hair Regrowth in Mice
Prolactin slows down hair growth in mice.
research Adrenal Steroid Hormone Concentrations in Dogs with Hair Cycle Arrest (Alopecia X) Before and During Treatment with Melatonin and Mitotane
Melatonin and mitotane treatment led to hair re-growth in 62% of dogs with Alopecia X, but this was not always linked to normal hormone levels.
research Prolactin: An Emerging Force Along the Cutaneous–Endocrine Axis
Prolactin may play a significant role in skin and hair health and could be a target for treating skin and 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 Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research Studies of Normal Moult and Artificially Induced Regeneration of Pelage in Peromyscus
Artificially inducing hair regrowth in mice can change the normal pattern and timing of hair growth, with minimal color differences between old and new fur.
research The Androgen Receptor Antagonizes Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Epidermal Stem Cells
Androgen receptor activity blocks Wnt/β-catenin signaling, affecting hair growth and skin cell balance.
