How to use

In Vitro:

Poly(Flavin adenine dinucleotide, FAD) characterized by an additional polymer-type redox reaction is a highly effective electrocatalyst for NADH oxidation: operating at the lowest potentials reported for NADH transducers (0.00 V, pH 7.4), poly(FAD) is characterized by the electrochemical rate constant of 1.8 ± 0.6×10-3 cm/s, which is at the level of the NADH mass-transfer constant. Poly(FAD)-modified electrodes are characterized by the dramatically improved stability and, is the most advantageous NADH transducers for analytical chemistry.

In Vivo:

Flavin adenine dinucleotide (2 mg/kg, i.v.) significantly cancels chlorpromazine (CPZ)-induced decrease in ventricular fibrillation threshold (VFT). Flavin adenine dinucleotide cancels the effect of CPZ on canine heart mitochondria. After injection of Flavin adenine dinucleotide, the dogs show a transient hypotension within 10 min, then their blood pressures recover to the initial level. Flavin adenine dinucleotide also prevents mitochondrial dysfunction induced by chlorpromazine.
