While waiting for a large scale clinical trial where patients treated with statins are also monitored for their CoQ 10 status, with a group also being given CoQ 10, physicians should be aware of this drug-nutrient interaction and be vigilant to the possibility that statin drugs may, in some ...
Statins also carry warnings that memory loss, mental confusion, neuropathy, high blood sugar, and type 2 diabetes are possible side effects. It's important to remember that statins may also interact with other medications you take. CoQ10 and statins ...
Coenzyme Q 10 in cardiovascular disease with emphasis on heart failure and myocardial ischaemia The vitamin-like nutrient CoQ 10 (ubiquinone), discovered in 1957 and first used in human illness in 1967, has a crucial role in cellular ATP production as the coenzyme for mitochondrial complexes I, ...
If you're taking statins and have unpleasant side effects, discussCoQ10 supplementswith your doctor. CoQ10 appears to be safe and well-tolerated. Taking it may be a good option for you, especially if you're in good health. Statin Side Effects | Atorvastatin, Rosuvastatin, Simvastatin Side Ef...
(PUFA) synthesis, or scavenging of ROS. Ferroptosis and lipid peroxidation are mainly controlled by three parallel systems: the glutathione (GSH)/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) axis, the ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1)/ubiquinone (CoQ10)/NAD(P)H axis and the GTP cyclohydrolase 1 (GCH...

related mortality across the population. One would be wrong. Despitecontrolling cholesterol, Americans are as unhealthy as ever, living withincreasingly more chronic diseasesanddying at higher ratesthan ever before. Is it possible we were wrong about the relationship between cholesterol and heart ...
Statins and mitochondrial disorders As mentioned, the main lipid lowering effect of statins is the result of inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase activity. The inhibition of this enzyme also affects the synthetic pathway of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), an important factor for mitochondrial normal activity. Mild...
Use of statins and the risk of Parkinson's disease: a retrospective case-control study in the UK. Case reports have related the use of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors ('statins') to Parkinson's disease (PD). Paradoxically, however, statins may have potenti... Claudia,Becker,S Susan,... -...
Occasionally, it is suggested that statin users take a supplemental CoQ10 to offset this inhibition, but it looks like the inhibition of menaquinone-4 biosynthesis via statins may be even more disruptive to many processes and pathways than inhibition of CoQ10, yet this remains off the typical ra...
