solid | [Definition]
ChEBI: A compound showing blue fluorescence, formed by a photolysis of riboflavin in acid or neutral solution. | [in vivo]
Lumichrome (7.5 mg/kg, ip, three times a week for 6 weeks) reduces bone loss and prevents osteoporosis in the ovariectomized (OVX) mouse model[3]. | Animal Model: | OVX mouse model[3] | | Dosage: | 7.5 mg/kg | | Administration: | ip, three times a week for 6 weeks | | Result: | Increased bone mineral density (BMD) and bone volume fraction (BV/TV) in OVX mice, and reduced the osteoclast surface/bone surface (Oc.S/BS) ratio. |
