Coat color dilution in several breeds of dog is characterized by a specific pigmentation phenotype and sometimes accompanied by hair loss and recurrent skin inflammation, the so-called color dilution alopecia or black hair follicular dysplasia. Coat color dilution (d) is inherited as a Mendelian autosomal recessive trait. In a previous study, MLPH polymorphisms showed perfect cosegregation with...

BACKGROUND/AIM Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer in the white population. Increasing incidence of BCC imposes the requirement to indentify the risk factors due to eventual preventive action. The aim of this study was to assess the role of some constitutional characteristics in development of BCC among the Montenegrian population. METHODS A case-control study wa...

HE action of genes at the agouti locus, in combination with “wild” genes at other color loci, results in coat color phenotypes which range from all black ( a / a ) to all yellow (Ay / ) . Between these two extremes is the agouti phenotype (A/--) which is typically characterized by the presence of a subapical yellow band on an otherwise black hair. These observations indicate that alleles at the...

Hair color reflects the health of an individual and discolored hair indicates pathological state. Palitam is a physiological process when it occurring in old age. Whereas Akala (premature graying) condition manifests early stages life. It characterized byVivarna Kesha (discolored hair) along with altered texture predominant Dosha attributes Vivarnata to Kesha.

A dye can typically be defined as a colored Substance that has an affinity to the fiber, fur or hair. Continuous utilization of such compounds containing on herbal hair reasons lot aspect effects along with pores and skin inflammation, erythrema, loss damage most cancers. In oxidation device, there's severe diffusion molecule into cortex, what promotes extended shade resistance. Herbal preparat...

The effect of ovariectomy, estrogen and pregnancy on hair color has been studied in mature all red and all black guinea pigs. Hair samples were obtained from the scalp and anterior abdominal wall of each animal before and during the course of each experiment. Control samples of hair were also removed from the same areas of a group of untreated animals. The hairs were mounted on slides and hair ...

1916), believed that whitening of hair was related to pigment absorbed and carried away by phagocytes he observed in the vicinity of dystrophic hair follicles and called ‘pigmentophages’ [9] . In 1981, Guin et al. [10] reported a lady whose hair turned white over 3 months with hair thinning but no patches of alopecia. Immunofluorescence studies demonstrated immune deposits along the follicular ...

This study examines the sorption of eight explosives (2,4,6-trinitrotoluene [TNT]; pentaerythritol tetranitrate [PETN]; hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-s-triazine [RDX]; diacetone diperoxide [DADP]; triacetone triperoxide [TATP]; ethylene glycol [EGDN], nitroglycerin [NG]; and 2,4-dinitrotoluene [DNT]) to human hair. The study uses only cut hair, which is exposed to explosive vapor. The vapor transfer...
