Abstract

CoQ10 levels are known to decrease with aging. Maintaining healthful levels of CoQ10 is important for heart health. CoQ10 functions as an electron carrier in the mitochondrial respiratory chain as well as serves as an important intracellular antioxidant. Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble compound primarily synthesized by the body and also consumed in the diet. CoQ10 is an essential element of food that can now be used medicinally to support the sick host in conditions where nutritional depletion and cellular dysfunction occur. Some chronic disease conditions (cancer, heart disease, etc.) are also thought to reduce the biosynthesis and increase the demand for CoQ10 in the body.

CoQ10'nin solunum zincirindeki etkisi

Abstract

CoQ10 seviyesinin yaşlanmayla birlikte azaldığı bilinmektedir. Kalp sağlığı için CoQ10'nin seviyesi önemlidir. CoQ10 mitokondrial solunum zincirinde bir elektron taşıyıcısı olarak, bunu yanı sıra önemli bir hücre içi antioksidan olarak görev yapar. CoQ10 yağda çözünebilen bir bileşiktir ve öncelikli olarak vücut tarafından sentezlenir ve ayrıca diyetle alınabilir. CoQ10, hasta tedavisinde besleyici ve hücresel bozuklukların tedavisinde destekleyici olarak kullanılan yiyeceklerin elzem bir maddesidir. Bazı kronik hastalıklar vücudun ihtiyacı olan CoQ10'in azalması ve biyosentezinin düşmesi ile bağlantılıdır.

Keywords

Yiyecek, solunum zinciri, CoQ10.
