Background: Heavy exercise cause muscle damage associated with production of inflammatory agents. The purpose of present study was to determine the effect of acute and 14-day Coenzyme Q10 supplementation on inflammatory, blood lactate and muscle damage in male middle-distance runners.   Methods : Eighteen male middle-distance runners in a randomized and quasi experimental study were allocated...

The effect of temperature on skeletal muscle ATP turnover and muscle fiber conduction velocity (MFCV) was studied during maximal power output development in humans. Eight male subjects performed a 6-s maximal sprint on a mechanically braked cycle ergometer under conditions of normal (N) and elevated muscle temperature (ET). Muscle temperature was passively elevated through the combination of ho...

The present review focuses on preclinical and clinical studies conducted in the last decade that contribute to increasing knowledge Coenzyme Q10’s role health disease. Classical antioxidant bioenergetic functions of coenzyme have been taken into consideration, as well novel mechanisms action involving redox-regulated activation molecular pathways associated with anti-inflammatory activities.
