June 2026 in “Reports of Morphology” The study investigated the impact of a modified diet on skin changes in a rat model of stress-induced alopecia. Female Wistar rats were used to model stress alopecia, and a diet rich in natural antioxidants and nutrients was tested for its corrective effects. Rats on the modified diet showed significantly better skin conditions, with less epidermal atrophy and healthier hair follicles compared to those without dietary changes. The modified diet helped preserve the functional activity of hair follicles and reduced dystrophic changes in the skin, suggesting that dietary approaches can be effective in managing stress-induced alopecia.
