research The effect of melatonin implants administered from December until April, on plasma prolactin, triiodothyronine and thyroxine concentrations and on the timing of the spring moult in cashmere goats
Melatonin implants can change the seasonal prolactin levels and hair growth in adult cashmere goats but not in juveniles, and don't delay spring moult for better fiber harvesting.
research Environmental Influences on the Hair Follicle
Environmental factors like temperature and nutrition affect hair growth, with humans showing seasonal hair growth differences.
research Group-ICA Model Order Highlights Patterns of Functional Brain Connectivity
Choosing the right model order in brain connectivity analysis can affect the detection of differences between healthy individuals and those with seasonal affective disorder.
research The Ecology of Human Sleep (EcoSleep) Project: Protocol for a longitudinal cohort repeated-measurement-burst study to assess the relationship between sleep determinants and sleep outcomes under real-world conditions across time of year
The study aims to understand how mood, physical activity, light exposure, and seasonal changes affect sleep patterns.
research Revisiting hyper- and hypo-androgenism by tandem mass spectrometry
The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.
research Antiandrogens and Androgen Inhibitors
Antiandrogens and androgen inhibitors like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride can treat hair loss and skin conditions, but they have risks and side effects, including potential harm to pregnant women and risks of cancer and heart issues. Herbal remedies also have antiandrogenic effects but lack safety validation.
research A global analysis of CNVs in Chinese indigenous fine-wool sheep populations using whole-genome resequencing
The study mapped genetic variations in sheep, linking them to traits like milk production and growth.
research Skin transcriptome reveals the intrinsic molecular mechanisms underlying hair follicle cycling in Cashmere goats under natural and shortened photoperiod conditions
Changing light exposure can affect hair growth timing in goats, possibly due to a key gene, CSDC2.
research Molecular mechanisms underlying cashmere quality differences between Jiangnan cashmere goats and Changthangi pashmina goats
Cashmere quality differences are due to gene expression variations affecting hair development and adaptation to cold.
research Herding Practices in the Keriya Valley (Xinjiang, China) During the Bronze and Iron Ages Using Stable Isotopic Analysis of Animal Hair
Ancient herders in the Keriya Valley fed their animals mainly C3 plants, with some C4 plant feeding possibly due to herd movement or seasonal changes.
research LncRNAs regulate the cyclic growth and development of hair follicles in Dorper sheep
Certain long non-coding RNAs are important for controlling hair growth cycles in sheep.
research Sexually dimorphic sail feathers in the Mandarin duck as a model for lifelong developmental modulation
Mandarin duck sail feathers change with seasons due to hormones and genetic regulation.
research PATTERN AND PROFILE OF PATIENTS WITH ACNE VULGARIS
Most acne patients were young males with face acne, with many experiencing worsening in summer and diet-related aggravation.
research Prolactin and the Skin: A Dermatological Perspective on an Ancient Pleiotropic Peptide Hormone
Prolactin affects hair growth and skin conditions, and could be a target for new skin disease treatments.
research [Prevalence of cutaneous lesions in Freixo de Espada à Cinta].
In Freixo de Espada à Cinta, common skin conditions include melanocytic nevi, hemangiomas, and acne, with variations based on age and sex.
research Changes in serum free testosterone, sleep patterns, and 5‐alpha‐reductase type I activity influence changes in sebum excretion in female subjects
Sleep, testosterone levels, and a specific enzyme activity affect skin oil production in women.
research Google Trends as a Tool for Evaluating Public Interest in Facial Cosmetic Procedures
Google Trends data on facial cosmetic procedures matches actual surgery numbers, showing it can help plastic surgeons understand public interest.
research Morphology and ultrastructure of antler velvet hair and body hair from red deer (Cervus elaphus)
Antler velvet hair and body hair of red deer have different structures that help with protection and insulation.
research Hair coat characteristics in Friesian heifers in the Netherlands and Kenya : experimental data and a review of literature
Friesian heifers take about 18 months to adapt to Kenya's climate, with hair changes not strongly linked to weight gain.
research Telocytes: current methods of research, challenges and future perspectives
Telocytes have potential in therapy and tissue regeneration, but challenges in identification and cultivation remain.
research Transcriptome Dynamics Reveal Stage-specific and Melatonin-triggered Gene Expression Patterns During the Cashmere Growth Cycle in Capra Hircus
Melatonin can increase cashmere yield by altering gene expression and restarting the growth cycle early.
research An Approach to the Patient with Hirsutism
The document concludes with guidance for doctors on diagnosing and treating hirsutism effectively and safely.
research Possible contribution of chronobiology to cardiovascular health
Understanding and tracking our body's natural daily rhythms could help improve heart health.
research Microstructure of Defective Mink Guard Hair
Defective mink guard hairs have split tips and missing cuticle cells, causing a metallic sheen.
research Phenotypic Correlation between Guard Hair and Down Hair in Chinese Alashan Left Banner White Cashmere Goat: A Preliminary Study
Guard hair length is positively correlated with guard hair diameter and down fiber length, but negatively correlated with variation in guard hair diameter and down fiber diameter.
research Continuous Dynamics of The Hair Follicle: Spiral Model for Understanding Follicular Activity Throughout Life
The Spiral Model helps understand hair growth changes with age and identify hair problems early.
research Gender aspects in skin diseases
