Abstract
Hair Growth Defects of Diabetic and Hypercholesterolemic Wistar Albino Rats and Amelioration of Fish Oil-Treatment
Highlights
The hair shaft is a highly keratinized tissue outgrowth from the hair follicle
Increased deformity of hair shaft was detected in combined diabetes and hypercholesterolemia where thinning appeared and ruptured
Diabetes and or hypercholesterolemia interfered with hair shaft growth causing apparent reduction and deformation especially in diabetic and hypercholesterolemic group
