About Coenzyme Q10. Clinical trials, dosages, interactions with other drugs, foods, alcohol.

Basic functions of Coenzyme Q10: Energy Production and AntioxidantCoenzyme Q10 is an oil soluble vitamin-like substance which is present mainly in the mitochondria of almost all cells of humans (Bank et al., 2011). Coenzyme Q10 is also known as ubiquinone, ubidecarnenone, vitamin Q and CoQ10. The amount and intracellular distribution of CoQ10 are correlated with aerobic respiratory activity. Tissues with high energy requirements like heart, brain and liver contain higher amounts of CoQ10.

Most of the activities of CoQ10 are a result of its role in bioenergetics and its antioxidant action. The levels of CoQ10 have been reported to be lowered in many diseases like heart diseases, muscular dystrophies, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, diabetes and HIV/AIDS. Drug treatments like statin therapy were also identified as reasons for lowered CoQ10 (Mas and Mori, 2010). CoQ10 is mainly responsible for the electron transport in the inner membrane of mitochondria. Mitochondria are responsible for the production of energy from food via respiration. Apart from its bioenergetic role, CoQ10 and its reduced form ubiquinol also act as potent antioxidants.  Continue reading →
