| Research Abstract |
The dynamics of CoQ10 antioxidant activities in vivo have not yet been fully elucidated, especially regarding the elimination of excessive oxygen radicals produced during intense aerobic exercise. The present study investigated the protective effects of CoQ10 against oxidative stress induced by aerobic swimming exercise.
Protective effects of CoQ10 were observed in 4-week CoQ10 administration such as decreasing in serum lactate level and serum LDH activities, elongation swimming duration. Moreover, NADPH-CoQ reductase activity also increased in CoQ10 administration group. These results suggest that the reduced form of CoQ10 with NADPH-CoQ reductase constituted a fundamental defense system against oxidative stress and fatigue induced by aerobic exercise.
