α-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone: a protective peptide against chemotherapy-induced hair follicle damage?

摘要

Exogenous α-MSH exerts moderate HF-protective effects against 4-HC-induced human scalp HF damage and upregulates the intrafollicular expression of a key cytoprotective enzyme. However, as substantial interindividual response variations were found, further studies are needed to probe α-MSH as a candidate CIA-protective agent.
