Selenium helps prevent thyroid issues and cognitive decline in the elderly, but balance is key.

This article reviews drug-induced alopecia, its diagnosis, and treatments, but presents no new clinical findings.

This review investigates how selenium, a trace element found in wheat, may impact hair health by examining its biochemical role in hair follicle biology and its potential therapeutic and toxicological effects.

Ketoconazole shampoo can cause rare pink hair discoloration.

This study established a pluripotent stem cell line from a patient with androgenetic alopecia, which can potentially be used to study the disease's pathological mechanisms.

In this study, minoxidil treatment in aged mice increased elastin expression and improved aortic structure and function, suggesting its potential for arterial remodeling in aging.

This study found that isolated red light may serve as an alternative for photo-immunotherapy without additional photosensitizers, as it did not reduce keratinocyte differentiation markers or increase photo-oxidative damage, unlike treatment with IL-4 or UVA1/blue light.

In this study, isotretinoin treatment for acne vulgaris was associated with changes in plasma phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and zinc levels, potentially affecting kidney function and contributing to side effects like fatigue and dry skin.

This study found that activating the Nrf2 pathway in human mast cells effectively suppresses degranulation and inflammation induced by substance P.

This study found that in male rats, hesperidin co-administration ameliorated finasteride-induced testicular toxicity by reducing oxidative stress and improving antioxidant status, sperm parameters, and enzyme activity compared to finasteride treatment alone.

This study found that the ethyl acetate fraction of Hibiscus rosa sinensis petals significantly reduced serum glucose and glycated hemoglobin levels in diabetic rats, with effects comparable to metformin.

This study found that the ethyl acetate fraction of Hibiscus rosa sinensis petals significantly reduced serum glucose and glycated hemoglobin levels in diabetic rats, showing effects comparable to the standard drug metformin.

This study found that Origanum vulgare extract improved testicular structure and function in mice against finasteride-induced damage by enhancing antioxidant defense and modulating gene expression related to apoptosis.

In this study, high selenium diets from different sources caused weight and hair loss in pigs, with additional hoof and coronary band problems particularly in those fed sodium selenate.

This review discusses the connection between alopecia areata and trace element imbalances, noting deficiencies in elements like zinc and selenium, but reports no new clinical findings.

Eating a balanced diet with specific nutrients can help manage menopause symptoms and prevent related health issues.

In this study, researchers found that a polyphenolic extract from Annurca apples, high in procyanidin B2, increased hair growth, density, and keratin content in healthy subjects after 2 months of use, and stimulated keratin biosynthesis in vitro.

This study found that urinary selenium to creatinine ratio and serum selenium concentrations quickly respond to changes in dietary selenium, making them useful biomarkers for assessing selenium status in dogs.

This study observed that both excessive and deficient selenium levels in a C57BL/6 mouse model were associated with hair loss and changes in hair follicles, likely due to alterations in the hair follicle cycle and increased apoptosis.

This study found that a biocomposite microneedle system, which includes selenium nanozyme and hypoxic extracellular vesicles, enhanced hair density and follicle diameter in androgenetic alopecia mice by fighting inflammation, promoting blood vessel growth, reducing reactive oxygen species, and counteracting androgen effects.

This study reports that mesenchymal stromal cell-derived extracellular vesicle injections led to complete hair regrowth in a patient with persistent chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

This case study illustrates the successful treatment of chronic diffuse telogen effluvium in a young woman attributed to latent iron deficiency and emphasizes the importance of comprehensive assessment in similar cases.

This study suggests that selenium deficiency contributes to aging signs and health deterioration in a mouse model, supporting selenium's role in genome maintenance and protection against oxidative stress.

This review discusses the various adverse health effects of chronic selenium exposure in humans, including effects on endocrine and immune function, and suggests current exposure limits may be insufficient.

This review highlights the role of plant-derived organic selenium compounds, noting their high bioavailability and low toxicity, and provides a comprehensive overview of selenium's uptake in plants and metabolism in humans, offering a theoretical basis for future nutritional research.

This review discusses the potential role of vitamins and minerals in managing non-scarring alopecia but reports no clinical results; the authors advocate for further controlled trials to explore these relationships.

This study reports that selenium deficiency in children on long-term total parenteral nutrition may lead to symptoms like erythrocyte macrocytosis and skin and hair depigmentation, which improved with selenium supplementation.

This article addresses the need to screen for nutrient deficiencies in patients with hair loss but reports no new findings, noting that supplementation without deficiency may not be beneficial and could pose risks.

This review discusses how changes in hair and skin may indicate underlying vitamin deficiencies and emphasizes the need to identify populations at risk for these deficiencies; it reports no new results.

This review found that patients with alopecia areata may have lower levels of vitamin D, zinc, and folate, but conflicting evidence precludes definitive clinical recommendations for micronutrient supplementation.
