Hydroperoxides

1. Coenzyme Q10 decreases hydroperoxides in rats.

   “The lowest hydroperoxide levels for aged animals were found for n-6 PUFA+CoQ, which also showed lower concentrations than did n-6 PUFA.”

1. Caloric restriction decreases hydroperoxides in rats.

   “The mitochondria of the former, together with those of young rats, possessed the lowest Coenzyme Q9, hydroperoxide, and cytochrome contents”
