来自天然植物的挥发性成分有时被用于治疗精神障碍，但许多植物的功效尚未确定。在这里，我们调查了西伯利亚冷杉，西伯利亚冷杉（松科），在个人的持续任务的视觉显示终端（VDT）的性能期间和之后的精油的影响。在VDT任务后的恢复期，通过脑电图测量，呼吸含有精油的空气的参与者表现出延长的心跳间隔和增加的θ活动，但在任务期间没有。本文对金合欢挥发油中的挥发性成分进行了研究。Sibirica通过增味剂递送系统40分钟的是α-蒎烯（80.4 μ g）、Santene（3.1 μ g）、三环烯（2.4 μ g）、异戊烯（24.2 μ g）、β-蒎烯（2.6 μ g）、月桂烯（1.0 μ g）、δ-3-<$烯（14.4 μ g）、柠檬烯（3.8 μ g）和乙酸异戊酯（1.0 μ g）。这些结果表明，A.西伯利亚甘草降低VDT作业后的唤醒水平，可能有助于预防VDT相关的心理健康障碍。版权所有（C）2011约翰威利父子有限公司
Volatile constituents from natural plants have sometimes been used for the treatment of mental disorders, but the efficacy of many plants has not been determined. Here, we investigated the effects of the essential oil of the Siberian fir tree, Abies sibirica (Pinaceae), on individuals during and after performance of a sustained task on a visual display terminal (VDT). Participants who breathed air containing the essential oil showed prolonged heartbeat intervals and increased theta activity as measured by electroencephalography in the recovery period after the VDT task, but not during the task. The volatile constituents emitted from the essential oil of A. sibirica through the odorant delivery system for 40 min were a-pinene (80.4 mu g), santene (3.1 mu g), tricyclene (2.4 mu g), camphene (24.2 mu g), beta-pinene (2.6 mu g), myrcene (1.0 mu g), delta-3-carene (14.4 mu g), limonene (3.8 mu g), and bornyl acetate (1.0 mu g). These results show that the essential oil of A. sibirica reduced arousal levels after the VDT task, and might be useful for the prevention of VDT-related mental health disturbance.
