Abstract

We have compared plasma redox status of coenzyme Q-10 in 20 sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (sALS) patients with those in 20 healthy age/sex-matched controls. A significant increase in the oxidized form of coenzyme Q-10 (sALS=109.3+/-95.2 nM; controls=23.3+/-7.5 nM, P=0.0002) and in the ratio of oxidized form of coenzyme Q-10 to total coenzyme Q-10 (%CoQ-10) (sALS=12.0+/-9.3%; controls=3.2+/-0.9%, P<0.0001) were observed. Moreover, %CoQ-10 correlated significantly with the duration of illness (rho=0.494, P=0.0315). Our finding suggests systemic oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of sALS.

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?

  • The ratio of reduced to oxidized CoQ10 is significantly reduced in the platelets and cerebrospinal fluid of PD patients and in plasma of ALS patients.

    “The ratio of reduced to oxidized CoQ10 is significantly reduced in the platelets and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of PD patients156, 157 and in plasma of ALS patients158.”

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.
