Abstract in brief

  • Lemon oil vapor has strong antistress effects in mice, improving behavior in various stress-inducing tests like the maze, swimming, and open field tasks.
  • The study shows that the antistress effects of lemon oil are linked to specific brain receptors: they are blocked by benzodiazepine receptor antagonists and dopamine (DA) receptor agonists, but not affected by serotonin (5HT) or adrenaline receptor drugs.
  • Lemon oil appears to work by enhancing serotonin activity through 5HT1A receptors and increasing the metabolic turnover of dopamine and serotonin in key brain areas, leading to reduced anxiety and antidepressant-like effects.
