This oil-soluble, vitamin-like substance is present in most eukaryotic cells, primarily in the mitochondria. It is a component of the electron transport chain and participates in aerobic cellular respiration, generating energy in the form of ATP. Ninety-five percent of the human body's energy is generated this way. [1][2] Therefore, those organs with the highest energy requirements_such as the heart, liver and kidney_have the highest CoQ10 concentrations. [3][4][5] There are three redox states of CoQ10: Fully oxidized (ubiquinone), semiquinone (ubisemiquinone), and fully reduced (ubiquinol). The capacity of this molecule to exist in a completely oxidized form and a completely reduced form enables it to perform its functions in the electron transport chain, and as an antioxidant, respectively.
Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone, ubidecarenone, coenzyme Q, and abbreviated benzoquinone, where Q refers to the quinone chemical group, and 10 refers to the number of isoprenyl chemical subunits in its tail.
