[Effect of pregnancy and lactation on hair growth in mice (author's transl)].
The influence of pregnancy and suckling in mice on spontaneous, induced hair growth and on body weight was examined. 1. An inhibition of spontaneous and induced growth of hair some days before delivery was found. 2. The initiation of hair growth was found not to be wave-like as usually, but nearly simulatneously. 3. Inhibition and initiation of hair growth seem to be related to body weight. 4. The influences on hair growth in mice are compared with known effects of pregnancy on hair growth in women.
