AtherosclerosisAtherosclerosis is the thickening of the artery walls brought about by the build-up of plaque (plaque is made up of cholesterol and other fatty substances and waste products and calcium and fibrin) and the subsequent slowing of the flow of blood through the clogged arteries.

More is the thickening of the artery walls brought about by the build-up of plaque (plaque is made up of cholesterolCholesterol is one of the major fat-soluble compounds that is found in animal plasma membranes. It is necessary for life and is found throughout the body. It is carried from the liver to the tissues where it is needed by lipoproteins of which it is a component. Much of the cholesterol is transported in Low density lipoproteins (LDL). High levels...

More research is needed into the role of Coenzyme Q10Coenzyme Q10 molecules are fat-soluble molecules that are both synthesized in the body and ingested in the diet and in supplements. Coenzyme Q10 is synthesized in the body in the same biological pathway as cholesterol. Bio-synthesis of Coenzyme Q10 begins to decline once humans reach their adult years. The reduced production of Coenzyme Q10 cannot be compensated in any practical... More in the prevention and adjunct treatmentAlso called adjuvant treatment and adjunctive treatment, adjunct treatment is additional treatment together with conventional medical treatment. Adjunct treatment is the use of daily Coenzyme Q10 supplementation together with conventional medical treatment for heart failure, diabetes, hypertension, degenerative diseases, and low-energy syndrome diseases.
