Previous studies suggest that ninjin'yoeito inhibits dopamine-metabolizing enzymes and enhances dopamine signaling. However, whether ninjin'yoeito increases dopamine content in living cells remains unclear. Here, PC12 cells were used to examine whether ninjin'yoeito affects the dopamine metabolic pathway. Dopamine content significantly increased 3 h after treatment ninjin'yoeito extract. Concomitantly, the levels of 3-methoxytyramine and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid were significantly reduced. The effects of components of ninjin'yoeito on the dopamine metabolic pathway were also assessed. Treatment with onjisaponin B, nobiletin, and schisandrin, and the ingredients of Polygalae Radix, Citri Unshiu Pericarpium, and Schisandrae Fructus increased dopamine content and decreased its metabolite content in the culture media. Our findings suggest that ninjin'yoeito improves anorexia and amotivation by inhibiting metabolic enzyme and increasing the dopamine content in cells.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bbb\/zbab162","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,16]],"date-time":"2021-09-16T12:55:45Z","timestamp":1631796945000},"page":"2274-2280","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Ninjin'yoeito,
