Spermidine (Spd), the prototypic polyamine,has been shown to be essential for hair follicle (HF)growth. However, Spd can be readily converted into other polyamines, and is physiologically unstable.Therefore, to assess its individual functions on HFs, we used the metabolically stable Spd analog N1-methyl spermidine (N1-MeSpd).
