Comparison of the reduced/total CoQ10 ratio.
Comparison of the reduced/total CoQ10 ratio in cases with primary CoQ10 deficiency, complex I deficiency, and complex IV or V deficiency. In primary CoQ10 deficiency, the reduced/total CoQ10 ratio was the same as that of the controls. In complex I deficiency, 3/7 cases showed a decreased (< 80% of control value) reduced/total CoQ10 ratio. In complex IV or V deficiency, 3/3 cases showed an increased (120% < of control value) reduced/total CoQ10 ratio. Data are expressed as *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and n.s. indicates no significance.
