Abstract

[Purpose] This study examined how exercise capacity and the oxidative stress regulation system are affected by different amounts of dietary Ubiquinol (reduced form of coenzyme Q10, H2CoQ10: QH) over the long term. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-three senescence-accelerated mouse P1 (SAMP1) mice were randomly divided into two groups: one consuming a relatively high amount of QH (300 mg/kg; Group A) and the other a relatively low amount (30 mg/kg, Group B). Food and tap water were provided ad libitum. Both groups were made to run on a treadmill until exhaustion, and total running duration was measured. For the oxidative stress regulation system, the d-ROM test value (degree of oxidative stress) and BAP test value (antioxidant potential) were measured in a resting state, and then the BAP/d-ROM ratio (B/R ratio) was calculated. The values of plasma QH and plasma ubiquinone (plasma oxidized form of CoQ10) were also measured, and the reduced ratio was calculated. Measurements were taken 3 times: at the start of the study when the animals were 39 weeks old (baseline), after consumption of QH for 7 months (7 mo), and after consumption of QH for 10 months (10 mo). [Results] The senescence score at 10 mo was significantly lower in Group A. Comparison of the mean percentage change in running time showed a difference of 15.1% between the 2 groups. At 10 mo, the d-ROM test value was significantly increased and the B/R ratio was significantly decreased in Group B. Significant increases in the plasma QH value and reduced ratio were seen in Group A. [Conclusion] Group A showed a greater decrease in the d-ROM test and increase in the reduced ratio than Group B. Thus, a dose-dependent effect of QH consumption was demonstrated.

  • 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.
