Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions of CoQ. Lipids, proteins and DNA and lipoproteins in the blood are protected from oxidative damage by the conversion of the quinone form of CoQ to the quinol form. The quinol is rapidly reconverted to the quinone in both blood and tissues. CoQ has also been shown to decrease cytokine secretion in monocytes and lymphocytes, to improve endothelial function and to reduce hepatic inflammatory stress.
