    TLDR Poodles' hair changes aren't always linked to calcium, and special staining is needed to detect true calcium deposits.
    The study investigated perifollicular changes in the hair follicle glassy membrane of poodles, focusing on whether these changes were always associated with calcium deposition. It involved 147 dogs divided into three groups: 91 normal poodles, 40 dogs of other breeds, and 16 dogs diagnosed with hyperadrenocorticism. The findings revealed that these changes in poodles were not consistently linked to calcium deposition. The study concluded that specific staining is necessary to accurately identify true calcium deposition during histological examinations of poodle skin.

      Testosterone within the normal range does not significantly contribute to male pattern baldness (MPB); DHT is the main factor that can be controlled. Genetics play a crucial role in hair loss, and treatments like finasteride and dutasteride, which block DHT, can help despite potentially raising testosterone levels.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
