| Study Title | Metabolomics Analysis of Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia |
| Study Type | Unaffected and Affected patient scalp biopsies |
| Study Summary | Scarring alopecia consists of a collection of disorders characterized by destruction of hair follicles, replacement with fibrous scar tissue, and irreversible hair loss. Alopecia affects men and women worldwide and can be a significant source of psychological stress and depression for affected individuals. The purpose of this study was to explore metabolic profiles in scalp tissue samples from normal control subjects (n=6) and in matched samples obtained from affected (n=12) and unaffected (n=12) areas of the scalp in patients with lymphocytic Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA). Frontal fibrosing alopecia results from destruction of hair follicles by an inflammatory lymphocytic infiltrate that is localized around the upper portion of the hair follicle. |

Sample Preparation:
| Sampleprep ID: | SP000108 |
| Sampleprep Summary: | Metabolons standard solvent extraction method. The sample preparation process was carried out using the automated MicroLab STAR® system from Hamilton Company. Recovery standards were added prior to the first step in the extraction process for QC purposes. Sample preparation was conducted using a proprietary series of organic and aqueous extractions to remove the protein fraction while allowing maximum recovery of small molecules. The resulting extract was divided into two fractions; one for analysis by LC and one for analysis by GC. Samples were placed briefly on a TurboVap® (Zymark) to remove the organic solvent. Each sample was then frozen and dried under vacuum. Samples were then prepared for the appropriate instrument, either LC/MS or GC/MS. |
