Pharmacology/ Pharmacokinetics:
Pharmacology-
Co-enzyme Q 10 plays an essential role as an electron carrier in microchondrial oxidative
phosphorylation and has an important role as an oxidant.
Pharmacodynamics-
Primary function of Co enyme Q 10 is generation of energy.It plays a vital role in transfer of
electrons within the mitochondrial oxidative repiratory chain whose main function is adenosine
triphosphate production. Co Q 10 also appears to increase adenosine triphophate levels
by preventing the loss of adenosine nucleotide from cardiac cells.
Vitamin E is a strong anti-oxidant and demonstrates greater defensive action against
oxidative action against stress and lipid peroxidation. Vitamin E mops up peroxide
radicals and then restores the steady state situation by acquiring reduced hydrogen
Rationale for combination-
The rationale for combining such as Vitamin E and Co Q 10 enhances their effects on ROS
formations and chronic inflammations significantly . Co enzyme Q 10 and Vitamin E has been
formulated to protect coenzyme Q 10 and stimulate its production. In addition coenzyme Q 10
regenerate Vitamin E making it more available to neutralize free radicals
Thus a a combination provide a better defensive action against free radicals than alone in
oxidative sress.
