Geraniol (GER) attenuated chronic sleep restriction (CSR)-induced neuroinflammation in adolescent mice.

Sleep insufficiency is a significant health problem worldwide, and adolescent sleep restriction (SR) could induce multiple neurodevelopmental disorders in the central nervous system (CNS). Microglial-mediated neuroinflammation plays a vital role in multiple neurological diseases, and recent research showed the regulation effect of immunoproteasome on microglia functions. Geraniol (GER), an important ingredient in many essential oils, possesses diverse pharmacological properties like anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.
