A gene mutation in mice causes skin defects and early death.
research Action of Nucleophilic Reagents on Hair Keratin
Nucleophilic reagents break down hair keratin, forming more lanthionine and lysinoalanine than in wool.
research Carriers of 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency Are Not at Increased Risk for Hyperandrogenism*
People who carry the 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency gene are not more likely to have excessive male hormone levels.
research A Sensitive Assay for the Enzyme Activity in Hair Follicles and Epidermis that Catalyses the Peptidyl-Arginine-Citrulline Post-translational Modification
A more sensitive assay was developed to detect enzyme activity converting arginine to citrulline in hair follicles.
research Helpful diagnostic markers of steroidogenesis for defining hyperandrogenemia in hirsute women
The study concluded that androstendione and DHEA are important for diagnosing high male hormone levels in women with excessive hair growth.
research Human hair keratin responds to oxidative stress via reactive sulfur and supersulfides
Human hair strength and health are linked to sulfur compounds that can be reduced by stress but improved with sulfur supplements.
research Amino Acid Content of Damaged Human Hair
High temperatures and certain chemicals can significantly change the amino acid content in human hair.
research PSAT217 Estrogen Deficiency as a Cause of Decreased 1- alpha - hydroxylase Activity
Estrogen deficiency can reduce the enzyme activity needed to activate vitamin D.
research Simultaneous RP-HPLC-DAD determination of dansyl amino acids in chemically treated human hair
A new method accurately measures amino acids in treated hair, showing bleaching reduces amino acids while protein treatments increase them.
research HtrA1L364P leads to cognitive dysfunction and vascular destruction through TGF‐β/Smad signaling pathway in CARASIL model mice
The HtrA1L364P mutation causes brain dysfunction and blood vessel damage.
research Evaluation of Cysteic Acid in Bleached Hair Using Infrared Spectroscopy
Bleaching hair increases cysteic acid levels in a predictable way.
research High-sulfur protein deficient human hair: clinical aspects and biochemical study of two unreported cases of a variant type of trichothiodystrophy
Two patients had a unique form of trichothiodystrophy with reduced high-sulfur proteins in their hair.
research Evaluation of oxidative stress, 3-Nitrotyrosine, and HMGB-1 levels in patients with wet type Age-Related Macular Degeneration
wAMD patients have higher oxidative stress, suggesting antioxidant treatment may help.
research The origin of citrulline-containing proteins in the hair follicle and the chemical nature of trichohyalin, an intracellular precursor
research Common Forms of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is mainly caused by enzyme deficiencies, leading to varying symptoms like hormone imbalances and physical changes.
research 532 Unexpected expression of hemoglobin α as an endogenous antioxidant in epidermal keratinocytes
Hemoglobin α acts as an antioxidant in skin cells, especially protecting hair follicle stem cells from UV damage.
research The iron content of human hair. II. Individuals with disturbed iron metabolism.
research 120 Identification of post-translationally modified trichohyalin epitopes responsible for triggering autoimmunity in alopecia areata
Trichohyalin in hair can trigger immune attacks in alopecia areata.
research Effects of Molybdenum and Sulfate Sulfur on Metabolism of Copper in Dairy Cattle
High molybdenum and sulfate sulfur levels can cause health issues in cattle, but adding copper helps.
research Bound on the Risk for M-SVMs
The enzyme system in hair follicles is similar to the liver's and is inhibited by certain substances.
research THE LOCALIZATION AND SIGNIFICANCE OF ARGININE AND CITRULLINE IN PROTEINS OF THE HAIR FOLLICLE
Arginine converts to citrulline in hair follicles as proteins harden.
research 130 Deciphering the role of the hexosamine pathway in skin homeostasis
The hexosamine pathway helps maintain healthy skin by affecting the skin's structure and possibly increasing hair follicle stem cells.
research Vitamin C Deficiency-Induced Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Vitamin C supplementation can resolve pulmonary arterial hypertension caused by vitamin C deficiency.
research Mutations in the hair cortex keratin hHb6 cause the inherited hair disease monilethrix
research Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
The document concludes that diagnosing and treating Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is complex and requires a team approach due to its effects on the skin and other symptoms.
