Pu-Erh Tea Reduces the Transmission of CRD-Mediated Alopecia Risk to Offspring

The study investigates the transmission of circadian rhythm disorder (CRD)-mediated alopecia risk to offspring and the potential mitigating effects of Pu-erh tea. It was found that CRD-related alopecia risk can indeed be passed to offspring, particularly males. However, parental consumption of Pu-erh tea, especially by females or both parents, significantly reduced this risk. The tea's effects include inhibiting subcutaneous fat accumulation, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, balancing androgen and hair growth factor release, and restoring hair follicle DNA repair function. These benefits are linked to the upregulation of gene expression in pathways such as Wnt and Hippo.
