[Yu-Tang Tung] Research on Alleviating the Adverse Effects Caused by Sleep Disturbance

Professor Yu-Tang Tung and her research team investigated intervention strategies for ameliorating dysfunction caused by sleep disturbance, with a particular focus on vitamin D3 and GABA-producing lactic acid bacteria together with their postbiotics. The results showed that these natural interventions can effectively improve sleep disturbance-induced functional imbalance through multiple aspects, including regulation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and immune responses, stabilization of gut homeostasis and barrier function, modulation of systemic inflammation, and recovery of physiological function. The related studies were published in Food Bioscience (Liu et al., 2025) and Brain and Behavior (Wu et al., 2025).
