methoxsalen and Body Weight

methoxsalen has been researched along with Body Weight in 10 studies

Methoxsalen: A naturally occurring furocoumarin compound found in several species of plants, including Psoralea corylifolia. It is a photoactive substance that forms DNA ADDUCTS in the presence of ultraviolet A irradiation.
methoxsalen : A member of the class of psoralens that is 7H-furo[3,2-g]chromen-7-one in which the 9 position is substituted by a methoxy group. It is a constituent of the fruits of Ammi majus. Like other psoralens, trioxsalen causes photosensitization of the skin. It is administered topically or orally in conjunction with UV-A for phototherapy treatment of vitiligo and severe psoriasis.

Body Weight: The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Methoxsalen (MTS) is a natural bioactive compound found in a variety of plants that has many known biofunctions; however, its effects on osteoporosis and related mechanisms are not clear."3.85Methoxsalen supplementation attenuates bone loss and inflammatory response in ovariectomized mice. ( Choi, RY; Ham, JR; Hwang, YH; Kim, MJ; Lee, MK; Yee, ST, 2017)
" The two different methods of dosing were used on consecutive treatment days and the plasma 8-MOP concentration was measured on each occasion 2 h after ingestion of the crystalline form of 8-MOP, given to the nearest 10 mg."2.68Calculation of 8-methoxypsoralen dose according to body surface area in PUVA treatment. ( Diffey, BL; Farr, PM; Sakuntabhai, A, 1995)
" However, these finding as well as some hematological and serum electrolyte changes lacked a dose-response relationship."1.28Toxicity of 8-methoxypsoralen in cynomolgous monkeys (Macaca fascicularis). ( Brickl, R; Leuschner, F; Rozman, K; Rozman, T, 1989)
" In this study, 8-MOP was administered to male and female Fischer 344 rats without subsequent UVA exposure for the determination of toxic effects of the psoralen alone."1.27Subchronic toxicity in rats administered oral 8-methoxypsoralen. ( Davis, WE; Dunnick, JK; Jorgenson, TA; McConnell, EE; Rosen, VJ, 1984)
" These studies show that the psoralens with two potential DNA-binding sites (8-MOP and 5-MOP) were more toxic than psoralens with only one photoreactive site (5-MIP and 3-CEP)."1.27Toxicity of 8-methoxypsoralen, 5-methoxypsoralen, 3-carbethoxypsoralen, or 5-methylisopsoralen with ultraviolet radiation in the hairless (HRA/Skh) mouse. ( Davies, RE; Dunnick, JK; Forbes, PD; Iverson, WO, 1987)
"The acute oral and intraperitoneal LD50 values of micronized 8-Methoxypsoralen were determined in rats and mice."1.26Acute toxicity of micronized 8-methoxypsoralen in rodents. ( Apostolou, A; Comereski, CR; Williams, RE, 1979)
