Researchers have developed a remedy for grey hair and a skin condition called vitiligo as study says.
In a research report published online in The FASEB
Journal, people whose hair is turning grey develop massive oxidative stress via
accumulation of hydrogen peroxide in hair follicles, which causes hair to
bleach itself from the inside out.
The report shows that this massive accumulation of
hydrogen peroxide can be remedied with a proprietary treatment developed by the
researchers described as a topical UVB-activated compound called PC-KUS (a
modified pseudocatalase).
The study also shows that the same treatment works for the
skin condition vitiligo,reports
Science Daily.
“It is beyond any doubt that the sudden loss of the inherited
skin and localised hair colour can affect individuals in many fundamental
ways,” said Karin U. Schallreuter.
Schallreuter is a study author from the Institute for
Pigmentary Disorders in association with E.M. Arndt University of Greifswald,
Germany, and the Centre for Skin Sciences, School of Life Sciences at the
University of Bradford, Britain.
“The improvement of quality of life after total and even
partial successful repigmentation has been documented,” Schallreuter said.
