Intrinsic ROS Drive Hair Follicle Cycle Progression by Modulating DNA Damage and Repair and Subsequently Hair Follicle Apoptosis and Macrophage Polarization

Figure 1

Level of ROS in hair follicles was elevated in catagen in dorsal skin sections, which were obtained from mice at different stages of the hair cycle (postnatal days), as indicated, and were processed for histology and immunohistochemistry, as described in Materials and Methods. (a) ROS was widely distributed in HFs. (b) Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of ROS in HFs was elevated in early catagen, while it decreased in telogen. . Scale bar (a): 100 μm.
