Description
Wenliang Liu and co-authors review how longan fruit extract protects blood vessel linings, in this 2026 paper. Longan is a traditional fruit valued as both food and medicine in China. Its extracts hold sugars, plant acids, and other active compounds that may guard the heart and vessels.
Following standard review rules, the team gathered studies from the past decade. In cell and animal work, longan compounds mopped up harmful free radicals and calmed inflammation signals in vessel walls. They also helped balance nitric oxide, a key vessel-relaxing signal, and blocked an enzyme that tightens vessels. The review maps these paths as a base for future drug work.
