Effect of Hericium erinaceus mycelium (HEM) treatment on motor function by the rocking rotarod assessment of coordination. Mean duration (in seconds) of the time spent on the rocking rotarod as a function of increasing motor function for MPTP and HEM administration mice. At 5 days after the MPTP injection, the mice exhibited a significant motor dysfunction as indicated by a decrease in the time period on rotarod. The mice with MPTP treated with HEM(III) and assessed by rotarod apparatus. Data were expressed as mean ± SD (n = 6/group). *p < 0.05, 4 days, control group versus MPTP and MPTP + HEM groups. ^# P < 0.05, 5 days, MPTP group versus MPTP + HEM groups. & P < 0.05, 5 days, MPTP group versus MPTP + HEM groups
