Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the anti-stress effect of YST on the cold-stressed Mice. Method: The experimental animals were stressed in cold room ($4{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$) for 1 hour in a day during 2weeks, and administerd 115mg/100g YST extract for 2weeks before stress. For 2weeks, we conducted a research about the change of weight and content of norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine, cortisol and GOT, GPT in the mice serum. Results: YST significantly inhibited the decrease of body weight induced by stress, compared with the control group. YST had no significant decreasing effect on the change of content of the serum GOT But decreased the content of the serum GPT. YST decreased the content of the serum cortisol. YST decreased the content of the serum dopamine a little and decreased the content of the serum epinephrine significantly. Conclusion: According to the above results, it is concluded that YST will be useful as a remedy against stress disease.
