Evaluation of the antioxidant enzyme activity level in patients with alopecia areata

Alopecia areata (AA) is a disease with complex and not fully known etiopathogenesis, associated with hair follicle damage [1]. The disease affects only hair containing melanin, therefore grey streaks remain in the foci of alopecia. It happens that after 3 to 6 months there is spontaneous regrowth – new hair is then free of dye and their repeat pigmentation occurs only after a few weeks [2]
