Published research studies are articles that present the findings of original research that has undergone a peer-review process and has been made publicly available in scholarly journals, books or other media.
Research insights are moderated by the Research Hub team and offer an at-a-glance overview of interesting research findings.

Review Articles
Review articles summarise and critically evaluate the current state of research on a specific topic or field by synthesising multiple primary research studies.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are research studies that involve people and are conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of new treatments or interventions, such as drugs, medical devices, or behavioural therapies.
Study Protocols
Published study protocols are detailed plans that outline the objectives, methodology, statistical analyses, and organisation of a research study that have been made publicly available for others to review and use as a reference.

Write an executive summary in the form of a blog article on the topic of "Researched Chinese medicine treatments for Longan" summarising the research below in an objective and easy to understand way, and using language that can be easily understood by patients. Group the article into Chinese medicine treatments first, followed by nutrition and other treatments. Avoid using medical jargon and use a professional and caring tone of voice.
Write me a concise but easy to understand executive summary on the topic of "Chinese medicine treatments for Longan" based on the following research that I will give you. Your summary should be 2 paragraphs long in Australian English spelling and include references to the studies.
A Experimental Study published in 2023 in the journal Foods found that A blend of jujube seeds, longan fruits, and lettuce leaves significantly increases sleep time in fruit flies and mice. In the methodology of this study, behavioral analyses using fruit flies were carried out to find the optimal combination of extracts from Ziziphus jujuba seeds, Dimocarpus longan fruits, and Lactuca sativa leaves. The experiment further tested this mixture's sleep-enhancing effects on a caffeine-induced sleepless model and via neurotransmitter receptor antagonists in fruit flies. Additionally, ICR mice were used to comprehend the potential effect of the extracts on sleep duration.
Discussion of the study's outcomes has indicated that the mixed ratio – particularly 4:1:1 – of the three extracts considerably enhances total sleep time both in the fruit flies and the mice. Moreover, the experiment spotted alternations in gene expression related to GABA receptors, pointing to a probable mechanism underlying the promoted sleep effects.
