January 1980 in “Acta Dermato Venereologica” This study found that oral tetracycline hydrochloride significantly reduced the free fatty acid/triglyceride ratio in hair lipids of young men and women treating acne vulgaris, with or without additional ethyl lactate application.
This study developed a natural hair dye using Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt. extract, finding that it produced yellow to dark brown colors depending on the treatment, with ferrous lactate enhancing dye performance and color stability after washing.
January 2025 in “Clinical Pediatric Endocrinology” In a case study of vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2A, researchers observed that while active vitamin D treatment failed to improve bone and laboratory abnormalities, oral calcium lactate significantly ameliorated these issues, although skin and hair problems remained unresponsive.
This review discusses the unique characteristics and possible pathophysiology of spiny keratoderma, reporting no new clinical results, but suggests that some therapies might alleviate symptoms.
This study suggests that specific mutations in the MFN2 gene, including the p.Arg707Trp allele, can result in tissue-selective mitochondrial dysfunction leading to excessive upper body fat growth and low leptin levels.
January 2004 in “Elektronische Hochschulschriften der LMU München (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München)” This study found that calves with complicated ruminal drinking were more likely to develop alopecia, potentially due to the after-effects of severe diarrhea, independent of ruminal acidosis.

May 2019 in “Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery/Indian journal of plastic surgery” In this controlled study on hair transplantation, using autologous plasma as a graft holding solution resulted in better hair follicle cell survival, hair count, and density compared to Ringer's lactate, suggesting plasma's potential to enhance hair graft outcomes.
May 2025 in “Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Global Open” In this proof-of-concept study, researchers found that hair grafts preserved in preconditioned autologous platelet-rich plasma with photothermal biostimulation and phosphate-buffered saline remained viable for eight hours before transplantation, outperforming saline solution and Ringer's lactate by two hours.
November 2025 in “OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University)” This study found that zinc supplementation at 2.00 g/camel/day improved hair growth in lactating camels but did not affect milk yield or hump morphology, while 0.50–0.75 g/camel/day enhanced weight gain and hair development in calves.
November 2025 in “Frontiers in Veterinary Science” In this study, zinc supplementation at 2.00 g/camel/day improved hair growth in lactating camels but did not affect milk production, while for calves, doses of 0.50–0.75 g/camel/day enhanced growth and hair development.
August 2020 in “Current psychopharmacology” In this study, neurotrophic factors, synaptic plasticity, and neurogenesis changed in the hippocampus of rats during pregnancy, lactation, and pup deprivation, potentially influencing maternal care.
23 citations
,
August 1975 in “Experimental Biology and Medicine” This study found that supplementing pregnant and lactating mice with high dietary copper improved survival and physical traits in mice carrying the crinkled mutation, suggesting copper's role in modulating gene expression.
1 citations
,
November 2022 in “Nutrients” This study found that piglets' rapid growth during nursery and lactation was linked to changes in microbiota composition and increased cortisol conversion, highlighting critical early life factors influencing adult microbiota establishment.
August 2022 in “Italian Journal of Animal Science/Italian journal of animal science” This study found that supplementing Angora goats with whole field bean seeds postpartum did not prevent weight and body condition losses but was associated with improved mohair growth and kid weight gain, likely due to better nutrient partitioning towards lactation and hair growth.
August 2015 in “Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia/Arquivo brasileiro de medicina veterinária e zootecnia” This study found that maternal caffeine intake during gestation and lactation can lead to skin lesions like hypotrichosis and alopecia in both mother and offspring rats, irrespective of maternal cortisol levels.
September 2006 in “Baghdad Science Journal” This study examines hair loss rates during pregnancy and lactation, suggesting a connection between hair loss and unmet daily nutritional requirements.
10 citations
,
May 1986 in “Experientia” This animal study found that second generation mice exposed to excess zinc during gestation and lactation had reduced plasma copper, body weight, and hematocrit, with lighter and delayed hair development compared to mice on a normal zinc diet.
1 citations
,
June 2023 in “Acta veterinaria” This study found that both subclinical and overt maternal hypothyroidism during pregnancy and lactation caused significant damage to the skin development of rat offspring, including pronounced hyperkeratosis and reduced hair follicle formation, with more severe effects observed in overt hypothyroidism.
May 2026 in “ACTA SCIENTIAE VETERINARIAE” This study reports a case of hepatogenic photosensitization in a 22-day-old lactating Tabapuã calf, induced by toxins ingested via breast milk from a mother fed Brachiaria decumbens pasture; treatment including pasture removal and medicinal intervention led to symptom remission.
