Extract

Seasonal changes in secondary hair follicle activity and associated patterns of cashmere growth and moult are dependent on seasonal changes in profiles of hormones and growth factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the individual and interactive roles of prolactin and thyroid hormones in the activation of hair follicles and the onset of the spring moult.
