This study was conducted to investigate the hair production and fleece characteristics of hair goats in Fars province. The material of the study included a total data of 84 hair goats, which were between kids and adult in male and female goats, respectively. The overall average for fleece weight, fiber length, staple lengths, washing yield, hair fiber diameter, of fiber diameter, breaking force...

androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hair loss in men. the present study was designed to evaluate the hair growth-promoting activity of a preparation of the adiantum capillus veneris linn. (a. capillus veneris linn.) on albino mice using a testosterone-induced alopecia model. five groups of albino mice were studied: (a) testosterone solution only (n=6); (b) testosterone ‏+ finasteri...

Abstract Background Hair follicle density influences wool fibre production, which is one of the most important traits Wan Strain Angora rabbit. However, molecular mechanisms regulating hair have remained elusive. Results In this study, at different body sites rabbits with high and low production (HWP LWP) was investigated by histological analysis. Haematoxylin-eosin staining showed a higher in ...

Here, we studied hair follicle development of Liaoning Cashmere goats. Every month for 1 year, skin samples were collected from five 1.5-year-old female goats, and made into paraffin sections. A number of parameters were measured of primary and secondary hair follicles via microscopic observation including follicle depth, hair bulb width, dermis and epidermis thickness, changes in follicle acti...

BACKGROUND Select hair products contain endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that may affect breast cancer risk. We hypothesize that, if EDCs are related to breast cancer risk, then they may also affect two important breast cancer risk factors: age at menarche and mammographic breast density. METHODS In two urban female cohorts (N = 248): 1) the New York site of the National Collaborative Pe...

BACKGROUND Hair follicles are known to contain a well-characterized niche for adult stem cells: the bulge, which contains epithelial and melanocytic stem cells. Stem cells in the hair bulge, a clearly demarcated structure within the lower permanent portion of hair follicles, can generate the interfollicular epidermis, hair follicle structures, and sebaceous glands. The bulge epithelial stem cel...

Unimodal biometric system uses only single trait of biometric for recognition and do not provide secured application. Multimodal biometric combines different physical and behavioral traits such as face and finger other traits such as skin color, age, height, hair color, eye color, provide reliable authentication because the nature of these t property in soft biometrics, it can be used with othe...

Aim: To explore the characteristics of normal hair distribution in Han Chinese. Methods: A total of 146 healthy Han Chinese and 41 patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) were selected as research subjects. Digital photographs of the vertex, temporal, and occipital regions were taken after their hair was trimmed. An image analysis software was used to compute the number of follicular units (F...
