Main Article Content
Abstract
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a lipid-soluble benzoquinone compound, plays a fundamental role in mitochondrial bioenergetics and cellular antioxidant defense. It serves as a vital electron carrier in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, contributing to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis, while simultaneously acting as a potent antioxidant protecting cells from oxidative stress. This review highlights the biochemical properties, physiological functions, and clinical relevance of CoQ10, with a particular emphasis on its role in myocardial ischemia and ischemia–reperfusion injury.
