身体精神经常性不在线,需要关注自身的辅酶Q10了！

Yesterday, I suddenly received a message from a friend. She told me that I have often felt palpitations and discomfort in recent years, and they have even worsened in recent days. So I hurried to the hospital for a check-up, and found through the electrocardiogram that I had frequent premature ventricular contractions! After being shocked, she asked whether she could take (Coenzyme Q10 or ubiquinone-10, CoQ10) to regulate and control. Taking this opportunity, Medical Companion Travel wrote this popular science article, hoping to be helpful to everyone.

If you find that your body and mind are often not online in your daily life, it means that you may need to pay attention to your own Coenzyme Q10!

So what is Coenzyme Q10?

Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone, is a type of natural compound with similar properties to vitamins. This type of compound has a common benzene ring structure and can be distinguished based on the length of the isoprene side chain at the sixth position of the benzoquinone ring. In humans and some mammals, the benzoquinone ring side chain consists of 10 isoprene, so it is called CoQ10. It is an endogenous strong antioxidant mainly present in the inner membrane of mitochondria and is an essential cofactor in the electron transport chain. So tissues with high energy demands or metabolic activity, such as the heart, kidneys, liver, and muscles, contain relatively high concentrations of CoQ10. Current research has found that CoQ10 can improve pathological conditions such as migraine, hypertension, heart failure, atherosclerosis, cancer, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Additionally, research has shown that CoQ10 has potential protective effects against neurodegenerative diseases.

The role of coenzyme Q10:

CoQ10 exerts its pharmacological activity through multiple pathways such as antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, inhibiting inflammation and restoring mitochondrial dysfunction. In terms of antioxidant: CoQ10 mainly has the effect of resisting oxidative stress damage by restoring the increase in the content of biochemical indicators reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) during the oxidative stress reaction, and restoring the decrease in the content of glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and GPx.

:

Coenzyme Q10 requires approximately 30mg-60mg daily. The content of a single pill or tablet of Coenzyme Q10 is more than 30mg. Taking it once or twice a day, usually about half an hour after a meal, can reduce the irritation of Coenzyme Q10 to the gastrointestinal tract.

:

The most common side effects of Coenzyme Q10 are mainly gastrointestinal reactions. For example, some people will feel bloating, abdominal discomfort, abdominal burning sensation or nausea after taking it. Some patients will also experience skin itching and allergic erythema. Some patients develop rashes all over their body after taking it, which may be due to allergies to the components of Coenzyme Q10.

Summary

Healthy and green living has been a hot topic in recent years. Coenzyme Q10 may not be exposed to much by the public, but as an indispensable nutrient for the human body, it affects various organs and is an important part of the immune system. We should always pay attention to our physical and mental conditions, relieve physical fatigue and improve immunity in a timely manner.
