Inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis in hypercholesterolemia: Is it the right choice? [PDF]
Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2013 Cholesterol biosynthesis is a complex pathway comprising more than 20 biochemical reactions. Although the final product created in the pathway is cholesterol, the intermediate products, such as ubiquinone and dolichol, also provide vital metabolic ...

IN VITRO STUDIES ON THE BIOSYNTHESIS OF UBIQUINONE
, 1960 Radioactive ubiquinone can be isolated from rat liver following intraperitoneal injections of C14-acetate or mevalonic acid. No detectable amount of radioactive ubiquinone could be isolated from liver homogenates, liver slices, or intestinal mucosa ...

A Ubiquinone-binding Site Regulates the Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore.
, 1998 We have investigated the regulation of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP) by ubiquinone analogues. We found that the Ca2+-dependent PTP opening was inhibited by ubiquinone 0 and decylubiquinone, whereas all other tested quinones ...

Pantothenic acid deficiency and ubiquinone levels in rat liver mitochondria
, 1959 A new group of naturally occurring homologous quinones referred to as ubiquinone or coenzyme Q (Q275) has been recognized in recent years. Structural studies have led to the characterization of these compounds as derivatives of 2, 3,-dimethoxy, 5-methyl ...

In vitro studies on the biosynthesis and reduction of ubiquinone
, 2003 This thesis concerns the role of ubiquinone, the only endogenously synthesised lipid soluble antioxidant, in the cellular defence against peroxidation of proteins and lipids.The aims of the present investigations were to study the biosynthesis of ...

Skin Penetration of Ubiquinone (Co-Q10) In Nanoemulsion Delivery System Using Virgin Cocunut Oil (Vco) [PDF]
, 2018 Ubiquinone (co-Q10) is a topical anti-aging with low solubility in water, so its penetration into the skin is also low. To increase its penetration ubiquinone (co-Q10) was loaded in the nanoemulsion delivery system using virgin coconut oil (VCO) as oil ...
