METHOD OF MEASURING THE METABOLIC INDICATORS OF HAIR FOLLICLES.

摘要

A method of measuring the effect of an active agent or a stressor on the baseline metabolic indicators of one or more hair follicles, the method including (a) obtaining one or more hair follicles; (b) placing the one or more hair follicles in a vessel, wherein the one or more hair follicles are positioned under one or more sensors; (c) using the one or more sensors to measure the one or more hair follicles' baseline metabolic indicators for both glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation; (d) exposing the one or more hair follicles to an active agent or a stressor; and (e) using the one or more sensors to measure the one or more hair follicles' respondent metabolic indicators for both glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation.
