Specific genes influence hair and cashmere growth in Laiwu black goats.
research Nutritional Factors and Hair Loss
Low iron and L-lysine levels can cause hair loss in women, and increasing these nutrients can reduce hair shedding.
research Identification of the Ovine Keratin-Associated Protein 22-1 (KAP22-1) Gene and Its Effect on Wool Traits
The gene KAP22-1 affects wool yield and fiber shape in sheep.
research Effect of Nutritional Restriction on the Hair Follicles Development and Skin Transcriptome of Chinese Merino Sheep
Poor maternal nutrition can lead to fewer wool follicles in Chinese Merino sheep.
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 Characterization of Transport Systems for Cysteine, Lysine, Alanine, and Leucine in Wool Follicles of Sheep
Sheep wool follicles absorb different amino acids at various rates and locations, which could affect wool growth based on diet and genetics.
research The Administration of Flumethasone by Three Different Routes, Its Measurement in the Plasma, and Some Effects on Wool Growth in Merino Wethers
Flumethasone causes wool shedding in Merino wethers, with recovery in about 60 days.
research Expression of the RORα Gene in Inner Mongolian Cashmere Goat Hair Follicles
The RORα gene is active in different parts of cashmere goat hair follicles and may be influenced by melatonin, especially in December when hair growth changes.
research Variation in Muskox (Ovibos Moschatus) Guard Hair Growth Rates: Implications for Measuring Chronological Biomarkers
Muskox hair growth rates vary widely, so a single growth rate can't be used for all populations.
