Abstract

The SAMP1 strain is a mouse model for accelerated senescence and severe senile amyloidosis. We determined whether supplementation with coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) could decelerate aging in SAMP1 mice and its potential role in aging. Plasma concentrations of CoQ10 and CoQ9 decreased with age in SAMP1 but not in SAMR1 mice. Supplementation with reduced CoQ10 (CoQH2, 250 mg/kg/day) for one week increased plasma CoQ10 concentrations, with an accompanying decrease in plasma CoQ9 concentrations. In two series of experiments, lifelong supplementation with CoQH2 decreased the senescence grading scores from 10 to 14 months, 7 to 15 months, and at 17 months of age. The body weight of female mice increased from 2 to 10 months of age versus controls in the second series of experiments. Lifelong CoQH2 supplementation did not prolong or shorten the lifespan, nor did it alter the murine senile amyloid (AApoAII) deposition rate or cancer incidence. In the second series of experiments, urinary levels of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine did not change with age or long-term supplementation with CoQH2. Urinary levels of acrolein (ACR)-lysine adduct increased significantly with age in SAMP1 mice; however, CoQH2 had no effect. Thus, lifelong dietary supplementation with CoQH2 decreased the degree of senescence in middle-aged SAMP1 mice.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • No lifespan improvement was detected with ubiquinol administration in SAMP1 mice.

    “However, no lifespan improvement was detected [68].”
  • In SAMP1 mice, ubiquinol administration at 250-300 mg/kg/day for at least 10 months can reduce senescence grading scores and ROS production, while enhancing antioxidant defences.

    “In vivo, experiments conducted on SAMP1 mice reported that ubiquinol administration at relatively high doses (250–300 mg/kg/day) for at least 10 months can reduce senescence grading scores and ROS production, while enhancing antioxidant defences [68,70].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
