Species
Animal Model
Administration Dosage Frequency Description References
Male Swiss Albino mice Exercise performance evaluation model Oral 20.5 mg/kg/day Once daily for 4 weeks To evaluate the effects of Paraxanthine on muscle mass, strength, and endurance. Results showed that Paraxanthine significantly increased forelimb grip strength (17%), treadmill exercise performance (39%), gastrocnemius and soleus muscle mass (14% and 41%, respectively), and NO levels (100%), while reducing triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL, and increasing HDL. Nutrients. 2022 Feb 20;14(4):893
Mice Wild-type (WT) and narcoleptic transgenic (TG) mice Oral 6.25 mg/kg, 25 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg Administered at ZT2 and ZT14, monitored for 6 hours post-administration To evaluate the wake-promoting efficacy of paraxanthine in WT and narcoleptic mice models and compare it with caffeine and modafinil. Paraxanthine significantly promoted wakefulness in both WT and narcoleptic TG mice and proportionally reduced NREM and REM sleep in both genotypes. The wake-promoting potency of paraxanthine is greater and longer lasting than that of the equimolar concentration of caffeine. Sleep. 2010 Jul;33(7):930-42

Dissolving Methods
Please choose the appropriate dissolution scheme according to your animal administration guide.For the following dissolution schemes, clear stock solution should be prepared according to in vitro experiments, and then cosolvent should be added in turn:

in order to ensure the reliability of the experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be properly preserved according to the storage conditions; The working fluid for in vivo experiment is recommended to be prepared now and used on the same day;

The percentage shown in front of the following solvent refers to the volume ratio of the solvent in the final solution; If precipitation or precipitation occurs in the preparation process, it can be assisted by heating and/or ultrasound.
