摘要: Ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10), in addition to its function as an electron and proton carrier mitochondrial transport coupled ATP synthesis, acts reduced form (ubiquinol) antioxidant, inhibiting lipid peroxidation biological membranes protecting inner-membrane proteins DNA against oxidative damage accompanying peroxidation. Tissue ubiquinone levels are subject regulation by physiological factors that related the activity of organism: they increase under influence stress, e.g. physical exercise, cold adaptation, thyroid hormone treatment, decrease during aging. In present study, coenzyme Q homologues were separated quantified brains mice, rats, rabbits, chickens using high-performance liquid chromatography. addition, measured cells such NG-108, PC-12, rat fetal brain human SHSY-5Y monocytes. general, Q1 content was lowest among brain. Q9 not detectable but rats mice. also detected cell lines Q10 lines. Since both vitamin E antioxidants, recycles vitamins C, mice HPLC-electrochemical detector (ECD). The quantity substantia nigra compared with other regions. This finding is crucial elucidating bioenergetics; preventing free radical generation, peroxidation, apoptosis brain; a potential compound treating various neurodegenerative disorders.
