Ganoderma lucidum promotes sleep through a gut microbiota-dependent and serotonin-involved pathway in mice
Abstract Ganoderma lucidum is a medicinal mushroom used in traditional Chinese medicine with putative tranquilizing effects. However, the component of G. lucidum that promotes sleep has not been clearly identified. Here, the effect and mechanism of the acidic part of the alcohol extract of G. lucidu...
