Abstract:Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an essential component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC). Decreased skeletal muscle CoQ10 content may result in decreased ETC activity and energy production. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that prolonged supplementation with oral CoQ10 will increase plasma CoQ10 concentrations and skeletal muscle CoQ10 content in young, healthy untrained Thoroughbreds. Nineteen Thoroughbreds (27.5±9.7 months old; 11 males, 8 females) from one farm and maintained on a grass pas… Show more
