Coenzyme Q-10 in plasma by UV – FAST

Coenzyme Q-10 in plasma by UV – FAST  (code  Z63110) – 100 tests package.

INSIGHTS
Coenzyme Q, also called Ubiquinone (or vitamin Q) is an organic molecule with a very long isoprene lateral chain, similar to vitamin K and E. In organisms it participates to redox reactions and, depending on the oxidation state, could be present in three forms: oxidized, a semi-quinone form and a reduced form. Increased levels of Q10 could improve the efficiency of the electron transport chain, increasing the available energy. Concentration of Q10 tends to diminish with old age. Low levels are registered in the presence of particular chronic diseases such as cardiac problems, Parkinson disease, muscular dystrophy, diabetes, cancer and AIDS.   Also some drugs, like statins used in the control of hypercholesterolemia can lower Q10 levels.

Principle of the Method:

The Coenzyme Q₁₀ after be treated with a deproteinization solution, comes stabilized and injected in HPLC.
