Table 3.

Distribution of CoQ10 in the major lipoprotein fractions.

Lipoprotein Fraction Untreated Serum CoQ10 nmol/L Supplemented Serum CoQ10 nmol/L
HDL 32.7 ± 1.8 (21.7%) 762 ± 8.1 (7.2%)
LDL 117.0 ± 1.2 (77.7%) 6718 ± 103.5 (63.8%)
vLDL 0.9 ± 0.01 (0.6%) 3060 ± 138.8 (29.0%)

Bovine plasma-derived serum was either untreated, or supplemented with 10 μmol/L CoQ10, and incubated for 45 min. Lipoprotein fractions were separated and CoQ10 content measured by LC-MS/MS, n = 3. CoQ10 content is given in nmol/L and the% in each fraction in parentheses. HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; VLDL, very-low-density lipoprotein.
