Table Of Content Structure and Function KEGG enrichment analysis and PPI network analysis Structure/Morphology Melatonin’s effect on hair follicles in a goat (Capra hircus) animal model Your follicles can lose their ability to produce melanin as you age, which results in the growth of gray or white hair. Different follicles go through different phases of the cycle at the same time. Some follicles are in the growth phase while others might be in the resting phase. Structure and Function This phase lasts for about 2–3 weeks while the hair converts to a club hair.

A bulb of keratin attaches to the bottom tip of the hair and keeps it in place while a new hair begins to grow below it.
