Study finds intermittent fasting slows hair growth in mice due to impacts on hair follicle stem cells.

A recent study in the journal Cell suggests that intermittent fasting may slow hair growth in mice by impacting hair follicle stem cells. The mice on fasting regimens showed improved metabolic health but slower hair regeneration due to oxidative stress from switching between glucose and fat metabolism. While similar effects may occur in humans, further research is needed to understand the potential consequences and mechanisms involved.
