Abstract
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a lipid-soluble component from benzoquinones. The oxidized form of Coenzyme Q10 is ubiquinone, and the reduced form is ubiquinol. As well to its endogenous synthesis, Coenzyme Q10 is also included in the diet. Dietary sources of CoQ10 are meat, poultry, fish, oil, and nuts. Coenzyme Q10 has an important role in energy metabolism in the mitochondria. It also protects the phospholipids, proteins, and DNA from oxidative damage in the membrane. It is stated that CoQ10 has several positive effects on diseases due to its antioxidant capacity. In recent years CoQ10 intake has become widespread. There are several studies investigating the usage and dosage of CoQ10 in diseases such as cardiovascular, neurological disease, diabetes, and reproductive endocrinology. In the present study, it was aimed to evaluate the CoQ10 and its possible health effects.
