“…In normal mice, oral administration of YKS reduced head-twitch behavior induced by treatment with the 5-HT 2A receptor agonist 2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine (DOI) (Egashira et al, 2008). In stressed mice, isolation stress for 6 weeks aggravated the hallucination-like behavior, and YKS reversed this aggravation, which was thought to be mediated by additive and/or synergic effects of Bupleurum root, Uncaria hook, Japanese Angelica root, and Glycyrrhiza in YKS (Ueki et al, 2015b). A similar result was seen in rats subjected to ischemia/reperfusion injury (Nogami et al, 2011).…”

“…YKS has been shown to downregulate 5-HT 2A receptor expression in the PFCs and reduce the DOI-induced hallucination-like behavior (head-twitching) in normal mice (Egashira et al, 2008) and stressed mice (Ueki et al, 2015b). It has been suggested that there is a synergistic effect of Bupleurum root, Uncaria hook, Japanese Angelica root, and Glycyrrhiza among seven constituent components of YKS is suggested to be concerned in this downregulation of 5-HT 2A receptors (Ueki et al, 2015b). These results indicate that the reduction of DOI-induced hallucination-like behavior by YKS might involve down-regulation of 5-HT 2A receptors in the PFC.…”

“…Ueki et al . reported that isolation stress enhanced the DOI‐induced head‐twitch behaviors and increased 5‐HT 2A receptor density in the prefrontal cortex in mice . Moreover, repeated treatment with YKS reduced the enhancement of head‐twitch behaviors and reduced the increase in 5‐HT 2A receptor density.…”

“…Poria cocos Wolf (Polyporaceae) is a saprophytic fungus that grows on the roots of pine trees in China and other Asian countries. Dried sclerotia of P. cocos, called Fuling, are widely used as a valuable medicine in traditional Chinese prescriptions (Song et al 2011;Kang et al 2015;Ueki et al 2015). In the past decades, researchers from China and Japan have isolated the major known compounds from different parts of P. cocos and extensively investigated their biological activities.…”
