    TLDR Camellia oleifera seed shell polyphenols and 1,3,6-tri-O-galloylglucose can help treat hair loss by reducing certain hormones and promoting hair growth.
    The study explored the impact of Camellia oleifera seed shell polyphenols (CSSP) and 1,3,6-tri-O-galloylglucose (TGG) on androgenic alopecia (AGA) in mice. Results showed that CSSP and TGG alleviated alopecia by inhibiting 5α-reductase and regulating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, leading to reduced androgen levels and prolonged hair growth. These findings indicate that CSSP and TGG could be promising treatments for AGA by targeting these specific pathways.
