Several studies suggest that ubiquinol-ratio in human plasma may represent a sensitive index of oxidative stress in vivo especially indicative of early oxidative damage. CoQ10 is a substance found throughout the body that acts as an antioxidant and is involved in energy production.

The Benefits of CoQ10: an Important Antioxidant

Coenzyme Q and antioxidant properties -

Also at the inner mitochondrial membrane level, coenzyme Q is recognized as an obligatory co-factor for the function of uncoupling proteins and a modulator of the transition pore. Furthermore, recent data reveal that CoQ10 affects expression of genes involved in human cell signalling, metabolism, and transport and some of the effects of exogenously administered CoQ10 may be due to this property.

Coenzyme Q is the only lipid soluble antioxidant synthesized endogenously. In its reduced form, CoQH2, ubiquinol, inhibits protein and DNA oxidation but it is the effect on lipid peroxidation that has been most deeply studied.

Ubiquinol inhibits the peroxidation of cell membrane lipids and also that of lipoprotein lipids present in the circulation. Dietary supplementation with CoQ10 results in increased levels of ubiquinol within circulating lipoproteins and increased resistance of human low-density lipoproteins to the initiation of lipid peroxidation.

Moreover, CoQ10 has a direct anti-atherogenic effect, which has been demonstrated in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice fed with a high-fat diet. In this model, supplementation with CoQ10 at pharmacological doses was capable of decreasing the absolute concentration of lipid hydroperoxides in atherosclerotic lesions and of minimizing the size of atherosclerotic lesions in the whole aorta.

Whether these protective effects are only due to the antioxidant properties of coenzyme Q remains to be established; recent data point out that CoQ10 could have a direct effect on endothelial function. In patients with stable moderate CHF, oral CoQ10 supplementation was shown to ameliorate cardiac contractility and endothelial dysfunction.

While it is likely that antuoxidant E represents the initial chain-breaking Fiber for supporting healthy digestion in seniors Coenzymw lipid antioxiidant, both fully reduced CoQH 2 ubiquinol and semireduced CoQH. ubisemiquinone appear to efficiently recycle the resultant vitamin E phenoxyl radical back to its biologically active reduced form. Physical interactions of vitamin E and coenzyme Q within the environment of the membrane lipid bilayer facilitate the recycling of vitamin E by ubisemiquinone and ubiquinol. Lastly, data are linked into a catalytic cycle that serves to connect normal electron transport mechanisms within biological membranes to the maintenance of lipoprotective antioxidant mechanisms.
