Longan flower water extract promotes sleep in mice via the serotonin–melatonin axis

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 3, Page 1852-1860, February 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Longan (Dimocarpus longan) flower is an underutilized botanical byproduct rich in polyphenols with reported neuroprotective actions, yet its role in sleep regulation remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the sleep‐promoting effects of longan flower water extract (LFWE) and its underlying neurochemical mechanisms in vivo ...

Oxidative Stress: Molecular Mechanisms, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Oxidative stress occurs when the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production overwhelms the ROS scavenging, which lead to genomic instability, epigenetic regulation, proteostasis imbalance, and lipid peroxidation, subsequently causing the occurrence and development of numerous diseases. ABSTRACT Although the physiological level of reactive oxygen species (
