Since stress affects the entire body, the researchers first wanted to determine which physiological system is responsible for hair graying due to stress. This research was done on rats. The team of researchers has previously hypothesized that stress triggers the immune system to attack pigment-producing cells. However, mice lacking immune cells still showed white hair.

Hsu said that since stress always increases the level of a hormone called cortisol in the body, we hypothesized that cortisol may play a role in hair greying.
