Download or read book Coenzyme Q in Aging written by Guillermo López Lluch and published by Springer. This book was released on 2020-08-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive exploration of research on the essential relationship of the coenzyme Q10 and the process of aging in living organisms. CoQ10 is an important factor in two main aspects of cell physiology: bioenergetics and antioxidant protection. While primary deficiency of CoQ10 is associated with severe and lethal disease, secondary deficiency can be associated with the progression of mitochondrial dysfunction linked to the lessening of biological activities during aging. The book is organized in four sections. The first offers an overview of the function of CoQ10, highlighting the two main functions of CoQ10 in cells: its essential role as electron transport chain member in mitochondria, and the protection of cell membranes against oxidation as one of the main endogenous-synthesized antioxidants. The second section covers research on Coenzyme 10. Topics include studies involving invertebrate models, mammal studies and the influence of CoQ on longevity. Also covered is research involving the role of CoQ in senescence-accelerated mice. Section three examines the effects of reduced CoQ in human aging, as evident in mitochondrial dysfunction, metabolic syndrome, neurodegenerative disorders, immunosenescence and fertility and reproduction. The final section, Prolongevity effectors and Coenzyme Q, explores research into slowing or stopping the aging process. Coverage includes strategies including calorie restriction, and modulation of CoQ10 levels by induction of synthesis or by supplementation. Coenzyme Q in Aging benefits a broad readership of researchers, clinicians, educators and students interested in the biochemical and physiological effects of coenzyme Q and the importance of this molecule in aging process.
Download or read book Coenzyme Q10 written by Sabine Grigoryeva and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coenzyme Q10: Uses, Health Effects and Role in Disease reviews the current knowledge and evidence of the potential clinical applications of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). CoQ10 is a lipophilic molecule composed by a bezonquinone ring conjugated to a ten-carbon isoprenoid side chain. It exists in two molecular forms, ubiquinone and ubiquinol, which are the basis for its antioxidant properties. CoQ10 also plays an essential role in cellular metabolism to produce ATP, which provides energy for muscle contraction and other vital cellular functions. Most of the ATP production occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where coenzyme Q is found. The authors review the protective effects of CoQ10 on intense physical exercise, reducing muscle damage and improving physical performance. Evidence of secondary CoQ10 deficiency in disease and in pharmacotherapy is discussed, highlighting putative mechanisms to account for this deficit together with examples of therapeutic intervention. Secondary CoQ10 deficiencies are important to identify as clinical benefit can be elicited following treatment with CoQ10 or its associated analogues.

Download or read book Taurine 5 written by John B. Lombardini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Taurine Symposium- "Taurine: Beginning the 21'' Century"- was held September 20-23, 2002, on the beautiful island of Kauai in Hawaii. The headquarters of the meeting was the Radisson Kauai Beach Resort. This international meeting was attending by approximately 80 individuals from 23 nations and 4 continents. Seventy-five papers were presented either as platform presentations or poster presentations. Taurine, first isolated from ox bile in 1827 by Tiedemann and Gmelin and named in 1838 by Demarcay, became of significant scientific interest in 1968 when the first extensive review article was published by Jacobsen and Smith. Interest in taurine grew exponentially after 1975 when the first taurine symposium was organized by Ryan Huxtable in Tucson, Arizona. Since that date, taurine symposia have been held approximately every two years held in various cities and resort areas around the world. Taurine investigators have had the privilege of attending these scientific meetings on three continents - Asia, Europe, and North America. Since the initial meeting in 1975, a central question addressed during many of the symposia has been: "What is physiological, pharmacological, nutritional, and pathological role of taurine?". Although taurine has been established as an important osmolyte, it appears to affect many other biological processes. However, the exact mechanism(s) by "which taurine acts" has not yet been definitively answered. In Kauai, the patticipants discussed many topics and asked many questions regarding the role and actions of taurine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: COENZYME QlO Thousands of scientific studies and clinical applications have shown that Coenzyme Q 10 may be one of the greatest 20th Century medicinal discoveries for prevention and treatment of disease. "New and revolutionary treatments of disease, particularly where there has been no treatment of intrinsic biochemical significance, have generally been believable to a few persons and unbelievable and even ridiculous to others before proof of efficacy... Revolutionary therapy has always been so and perhaps always shall be, but such is the nature of true discovery. It appears that the bioenergetics of CoQ 10 is remarkable and its potential in medicine is no exception to the history of controversial advances in medicine." The late Karl Folkers, PhD, Researcher "It is unthinkable for me to practice good cardiology without the help of Coenzyme Q 10. And, for the thousands of people with cardiac conditions so severe that they need a heart transplant, CoQ 10 may be a suitable alternative that not only enhances the quality of life, but extends survival as well." Stephen Sinatra, MD, FACC, Cardiologist & Author, The Coenzyme 010 Phenomenon "Energy is life, and CoQ 10 is a crucial component of the energy cycle and therefore of life itself."
