Coenzyme Q10 and Organ Transplantation
Organ transplantation. We have now reached the stage that numerous organs can be transplanted after the death of the donor. For example: heart, lungs, liver, [...]
Coenzyme Q10 and Antibiotics
Our cells contain a nucleus and many interesting organelles. Among the organelles in our cells, the mitochondria are especially interesting. Originally, far back in time, [...]
Coenzyme Q10 and Cancer Prevention and Treatment
In cancer prevention, Coenzyme Q10 supplements have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can help inhibit mutations in nuclear DNA. Once cancer has developed, studies of CoQ10 supplementation show either positive outcomes or no adverse effects on cancer progression.
Coenzyme Q10 and Aging and Mitochondrial Dysfunction
As we get older, our cells undergo altered mitochondrial dynamics. Mitochondrial dysfunction leads to reduced cellular energy generation, increased oxidative stress, and increased systemic inflammation. CoQ10 supplementation is a therapeutic strategy to protect heart function.
Coenzyme Q10 and Mitochondria
Mitochondria are the tiny bean-shaped micro-organs in our cells. They take the glucose from our food and convert it into ATP energy molecules. Coenzyme Q10 is an essential component in this process of ATP energy generation.
