The study investigated the effects of Huoxue Bushen Mixture (HXBSM) on skin blood vessel neogenesis and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in hair follicles of C57BL/6 mice. It was found that HXBSM up-regulated VEGF expression, which in turn accelerated blood vessel formation and promoted hair growth in the mice.
