Effect sizes shift with compound, dose, and population but a programs results are driven by the molecule it prescribes, not the brand name on the invoice
This enzyme requires the FAD coenzyme form of riboflavin for this reduction reaction, thus, emphasizing the role of riboflavin in the formation of reduced, active, glutathione ( Second, it has been shown that the oxidation of dihydroriboflavin, the reduced riboflavin, forming oxidized riboflavin can deactivate lipid peroxides, emphasizing the independent antioxidant property of riboflavin ( Third, riboflavin effects on antioxidant enzymes activities, including superoxide dismutase (SOD) ( Important to note, UV-B irradiation, the atmospherically predominant UV radiation, has been shown to reduce the neuroprotective effects of riboflavin both in vitro and in vivo
