In this study, the effect of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) on nitric oxide (NO) and total antioxidant (TAS) capacity in rats for which experimentally hypothyroidism was induced through PTU investigated. A 32 healthy male Wistar Albino weighing 300-350g, approximately 12 weeks old, were used as animal material study. . Rats divided into 4 experimental groups control (K), Coenzyme (C), Hypothyroidism (H),...

Diabetes, a highly prevalent disease that affects 9.3% of Americans, often leads to severe complications and slow wound healing. Preclinical studies have suggested that low level light therapy (LLLT) can accelerate wound healing in diabetic subjects, but significant improvements must be made to overcome the absence of persuasive evidence for its clinical use. We demonstrate here that LLLT can b...

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10, ubiquinone) is an essential cofactor in the electron transport chain, serves as a potent antioxidant in mitochondria and lipid membranes, and is often used as a dietary supplement for a number of diseases including cardiovascular diseases. Recently, we obtained evidence that CoQ10 (Kaneka Q10) affects the expression of hundreds of human genes. To decipher the functional and...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a complex condition, characterized by severe disabling fatigue with no known cause, no established diagnostic tests, and no universally effective treatment. Several studies have proposed symptomatic treatment with coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) supplementation. The primary endpoint was to assess the effect of...

Coenzyme Q (CoQ10) is a component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain and also a constituent of various cellular membranes. It acts as an important in vivo antioxidant, but is also a primary source of O2 /H2O2 generation in cells. CoQ has been widely advocated to be a beneficial dietary adjuvant. However, it remains controversial whether oral administration of CoQ can significantly en...

Recently, Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) deficiency has been implicated in the pathophysiology of fibromyalgia (FM). It is our objective to present the findings of the FM evaluation before and after oral CoQ10 treatment using the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Diagnostic Criteria of 1990 and 2010, and Symptom Checklist-Revised (Scl-90-R). Four patients with FM were examined using the trigger poin...

Background: Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is considered to be a potential anticancer agent, but epidemiologic evidence regarding CoQ10 and prostate cancer risk is lacking. We examined the association of circulating CoQ10 levels with prostate cancer risk, using prediagnostic blood samples. Methods: Each of the 307 cases was individually matched to approximately 2 controls, for a total of 596 controls, on...

The goal of our investigation was to develop oral solution of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) by using self-emulsifying systems. CoQ10 is practically insoluble in water. Therefore, it is difficult to develop oral solution of CoQ10. To solubilize CoQ10 and to develop it as oral solution, self-emulsifying systems consisted of oil, surfactant and co-surfactant were studied and using the self-emulsifying syst...

Short-chain quinones are described as potent antioxidants and in the case of idebenone have already been under clinical investigation for the treatment of neuromuscular disorders. Due to their analogy to coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a long-chain quinone, they are widely regarded as a substitute for CoQ10. However, apart from their antioxidant function, this provides no clear rationale for their use in...

Nanoemulsions (NEs) and Lipid Nanoparticles(LNs) are regarded as suitable nanosized carriers of water-insoluble active components such as Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and Vitamin E (VE) to improve the physical and chemical stabilities of active components. Good physical and chemical stability of particles was proved by Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (PCS), Laser Diffraction (L...
