Influence of the Hair Growth Cycle on the Glyceride Content of Whole Mouse Skin

    TLDR Glyceride levels in mouse skin are higher during hair growth.
    The study investigated the glyceride content in whole mouse skin during the hair growth cycle using adult male C57 Black mice. By initiating synchronous hair growth through plucking, researchers collected skin samples at various stages of the cycle. They found that during the anagen phase, the glyceride content was nearly double that of the telogen phase. This suggests that cutaneous glycerides might serve as significant energy sources for hair proliferation and follicle development, although the relationship between glyceride accumulation and hair growth activity remains uncertain.

      The conversation discusses the slow transition from baby hair to normal hair while using finasteride and transitioning to dutasteride, with progress except for the crown area. It's mentioned that hair thickening can take years, with each growth cycle potentially making the hair thicker, and this process can span over 6 months or more.
