Using data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, we assessed measures of puberty in U.S. girls in relation to blood lead levels to determine whether sexual maturation may be affected by current environmental lead exposure. The study sample included 1,706 girls 8-16 years old with pubic hair and breast development information; 1,235 girls 10-16 years old supplied information on menarche. Blood lead concentrations (range = 0.7-21.7 micro g/dL) were categorized into three levels: 0.7-2.0, 2.1-4.9, and 5.0-21.7 micro g/dL. Sexual maturation markers included self-reported attainment of menarche and physician determined Tanner stage 2 pubic hair and breast development. Girls who had not reached menarche or stage 2 pubic hair had higher blood lead levels than did girls who had. For example, among girls in the three levels of blood lead described above, the unweighted percentages of 10-year-olds who had attained Tanner stage 2 pubic hair were 60.0, 51.2, and 44.4%, respectively, and for girls 12 years old who reported reaching menarche, the values were 68.0, 44.3, and 38.5%, respectively. The negative relation of blood lead levels with attainment of menarche or stage 2 pubic hair remained significant in logistic regression even after adjustment for race/ethnicity, age, family size, residence in metropolitan area, poverty income ratio, and body mass index. In conclusion, higher blood lead levels were significantly associated with delayed attainment of menarche and pubic hair among U.S. girls, but not with breast development.

Cocaine, benzoylecgonine, amphetamine, and N-acetylamphetamine binding to melanin subtypes.

Experiments have been performed to document the in vitro binding of cocaine, benzoylecgonine (BE), amphetamine, and N-acetylamphetamine (N-AcAp) to synthetic melanin subtypes. The two predominant melanin types in hair are the black eumelanins and the reddish-brown pheomelanins. The melanins included in this study are two black eumelanin subtypes [5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI) and 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA) derived melanins], a reddish-brown pheomelanin [from 5-cysteinyl-S-Dopa (5-CysDOPA)], and two mixed eu-/pheomelanin copolymers. Results indicate that the basic drugs cocaine and amphetamine bind to eumelanins and mixed eu-/pheomelanins to varying degrees, but not to pure pheomelanin. BE and N-AcAp, net neutral molecules, do not bind to any type of melanin. As a model of which eumelanin chemical functional groups bind drugs, amphetamine was shown, using tandem mass spectrometry, to form a noncovalent adduct with dimerized oxidized catechol. Similar functional groups on the eumelanin polymer may represent an important drug-binding site. Overall, these findings show that basic drugs have a greater affinity for melanin than their net neutral analogues, reveal that melanin types differ when it comes to drug binding, help elucidate what properties of melanin are important for drug binding, and help explain why hair color biases exist.

Hair and plasma from patients on long-term selegiline medication were analyzed to evaluate the relationships between plasma and hair melanin concentrations and the incorporation of the selegiline metabolites methamphetamine and amphetamine in hair, and to evaluate hair analyses for determining compliance in medication. Analyses were performed on both the whole hairs, as well as pigmented and non-pigmented hairs from gray-haired patients. Melanin was quantitated by spectrophotometry, and metabolites were quantitated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Concentrations in pigmented and non-pigmented hairs differed significantly for both methamphetamine (p < 0.01) and amphetamine (p < 0.02), with mean concentration ratios being 3.69 +/- 1.88 and 2.95 +/- 1.16 for methamphetamine and amphetamine, respectively. Segmental analysis indicated that some patients had not been compliant with medication. We concluded that the incorporation of methamphetamine and amphetamine into hair of single individuals shows a preference for pigmented hairs over white hairs and that segmental analysis of hair may be useful when measuring compliance with medication.

It has been proposed that administration of a reliable marker substance to human subjects may enhance the ability to identify drug use and treatment compliance in drug treatment programs. The goal of this study was to determine if an oral dose of the antibiotic ofloxacin (OFLX) could be used as a "marker" substance to establish reference points with respect to time in hair of various colors. Male and female subjects (n = 32) between 18 and 40 years of age received 800 mg of OFLX as a divided oral dose on a single day. Subjects were restricted from cutting their hair or performing chemical treatments. Hair was collected (by cutting) before, and at weeks 4, 5, 6, and 7 after drug administration. Subjects were classified as having black (n = 5), brown (n = 13), blonde (n = 8), or red (n = 6) hair. Hair was segmented into 3.0-cm segments prior to digestion, extraction, and analysis by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). At 7 weeks, the mean OLFX concentrations (+/- 1 SD) in the first 3.0 cm of hair closest to the scalp were as follows: 30.6 +/- 8.5 ng/mg (black), 6.0 +/- 1.8 ng/mg (brown), 3.5 +/- 1.6 ng/mg (blonde), and 1.4 +/- 0.3 ng/mg (red). A similar pattern was found in hair collected at weeks 4-6. Quantitative eumelanin (EUM) hair concentrations for each subject were also determined for each subject via HPLC. A strong relationship between OFLX concentration at 7 weeks and EUM was noted (r2 adjusted = 0.728; p < 0.001). In six subjects, we also determined the intrasubject variability of OFLX incorporation into individual hair strands. Four strands from each subject were segmented into 2-mm segments and analyzed. OFLX appeared in segments #1-#10 at week 5 (the first centimeter of hair). OFLX appeared in segments #2-#20 at week 7 (the first and second centimeter of hair). The maximum OFLX concentration (the "band" of drug) and location was then determined for each strand. The maximum OFLX concentration was measured in segments #2-#5 at week 5 for all subjects (within the first centimeter of hair length). The maximum OFLX concentration was measured in segments #3-#8 at week 7 (within the first and second centimeter of hair). This was consistent with a growth rate of less than 1.0 cm/month, although considerable intersubject variability was found. No significant axial diffusion of OFLX along the hair shaft beyond the first 3.0 cm of hair was noted. Despite a strong effect of hair color, these data suggest that OFLX may be a suitable marker substance for hair, allowing a subject to serve as their own "control". Future studies will explore whether drug use, treatment compliance, or recidivism in clinical drug-abuse studies can be determined with the aid of OFLX.

Due to the complexity , the biological process of hair growth is still a work in progress. Nonetheless, several therapeutic methods including prescription medications, transplant surgery, nutritional suppelements, and even snake oils have been in use to help those who attempt to restore their hair. None of these approaches are perfect due to the heterogeneity in the causes that underlie hair loss. Unfortunately, most of these chemical drugs and hair transplantation operations are accompanied by undesirable side effects.
Hair Million of Dream Pharm provides an alternative approach to hair loss problems. Numerous anecdotal cases have demonstrated that this herbal formula based on the authentic Chinese herbs from Chinese Pharmacopoeia actually improves the age-related hair thinning and hair loss among a significant fraction of people who take it as suggested. We still do not understand the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to stop hair loss and promote hair growth, despite all the positive anecdotal demonstration. Neither scientific research nor placebo controlled clinical analysis has been conducted due to the high cost of such trials. Lack of scientific/clinical research is quite common in herbal arena. Just because science hasn't scrutinized doesn't mean we should stop taking daily food and herbal supplements altogether: our life must go on until we have better understandings of food and herb that we have been taking generation after generation. There are two merits in this hair restoration herbal formula: Firstly, Hair Million is relatively inexpensive compared with other methods, and secondly, it is made of edible herbs that are known to be safe when consumed in regular quantities.
DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands.
DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones)
or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
