Additionally, several bioactive compounds isolated from HE, such as hericenones [30], erinacines [97], ergosterol peroxide, cerevisterol, and 3β,5α,9α-trihydroxy-ergosta-7,22-dien-6-one39 [35], have been found to induce NGF-activity and enhance neuritogenesis, both of which were reported to be involved in alleviating depressive-like symptoms [98–103]. The gene discussed is NGF; the disease is hereditary elliptocytosis.
