Description

Ubiquinone 10 (CoQ10) is an important member of the mitochondrial respiratory chain that plays a role in oxidative phosphorylation. CoQ10 is present in subcellular fractions and in plasma lipoproteins where it functions as an antioxidant. There have been many studies on the effects treatment with CoQ10 can have on a number of systems in the body including: an effect on gene expression; improvement of endothelium-bound extracellular superoxide dismutase (edSOD) in patients with coronary artery disease (ecSOD is thought to protect blood vessels against oxidant-induced damage); decrease in blood pressure; improvement of patients' diastolic dysfunction, mean interventricular septal thickness, and posterior wall thickness in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; improvement in seminal plasma volume and sperm cell motility; reduction in the risk of pre-eclampsia. A deficiency of CoQ10 is associated with worse outcomes in chronic heart failure. PMID: 19932599 Source: Regenstrief LOINC
