The histodynamic of alopecia areata in the dependence on the griseofulvin-induced epithelial proliferation
Franz E.
The histodynamic of hair loss due to alopecia areata–without or with the medicamentous induction of the hair regrowth respectively–was investigated comparatively. 1. Griseofulvin induced an epithelial proliferation in alopecia areata associated hair loss, which is noticeable in the surface epithelium as well as in the follicular epithelium. 2. Under the influence of griseofulvin a deeper penetration of the follicles into the fatty tissue–in connexion with a cutan-subcutaneous volume increase–results; at the same time the supra- and infraseboglandular follicular areas are lengthened. snip…..
