Effect of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) on propofol-induced downregulation of genes regulating mitochondrial energy metabolism. Co-treatment with CoQ10 (5 µM) protected cardiomyocytes from propofol-induced (50 µg/ml for 48 h) reduction in gene expression of PGC-1alpha, NRF1, NDUFS8, SDHB, PPARalpha, and CPT1B. Transcript levels were normalized to ACTB. Data are presented as triangular dots; n = 4–5 in each experimental condition. *P < 0.05, compared with control conditions (0 µg/ml propofol in triglyceride emulsion)
