research The effects of biotin supplementation on serum and liver tissue biotinidase enzyme activity and alopecia in rats which were administrated to valproic acid
Biotin supplements increased biotin levels but did not significantly prevent hair loss in rats on valproic acid.
research The influence of valproic acid treatment on hair and serum zinc levels and serum biotinidase activity
Valproic acid treatment may cause temporary hair loss due to reduced zinc and biotinidase levels, which tend to normalize after 6 months.
research Serum and liver tissue biotinidase enzyme activity in rats which were administrated to valproic acid
Valproic acid may cause hair loss by reducing biotinidase enzyme activity in rats.
research Low level of maternal biotin intake changes the expression of biotin transporter in dams and fetuses in mice
