Bipolar disorder (BPD) is a severe and chronic mental disease with high rates of social and functional disability. To explain the emergence and maintenance of BPD, increasing attention has been focused on dimensions of inflammation and oxidative stress (OTS). Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is known for its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects; accordingly, the aim of the present study was to investigate, if compared to placebo, adjuvant CoQ10 might favorably impact on serum levels of inflammatory and OTS biomarkers in patients with BPD during their depressive phase. A total of 89 BPD patients, currently in a depressive episode were allocated by block randomization either to the adjuvant CoQ10 (200 mg/day) condition or to the placebo condition. At baseline and 8 weeks later at the end of the study, serum levels of total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total thiol groups (TTG), catalase activity (CAT), nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interlukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-10 were assessed. 69 patients completed the 8-week lasting study. Compared to baseline and to the placebo condition, serum levels of TTG and TAC significantly increased, and TNF-α, IL-10, and NO statistically decreased over time in the adjuvant CoQ10 condition. No statistically significant changes were observed for CAT, MDA, and IL-6. The pattern of results suggests that compared to placebo and over a time lapse of 8 weeks, adjuvant CoQ10 favorably impacted on OTS and inflammatory biomarkers in patients with BPD during the depressive episode. Thus, CoQ10 might be considered a safe and effective strategy for treatment of patients with BPD during their depressive phase.

Potential roles of mitochondrial cofactors in the adjuvant mitigation of proinflammatory acute infections, as in the case of sepsis and COVID-19 pneumonia.

Authors:
Giovanni Pagano Carla Manfredi Federico V Pallardó Alex Lyakhovich Luca Tiano Marco Trifuoggi

Inflamm Res 2021 Feb 21;70(2):159-170. Epub 2020 Dec 21.

Department of Chemical Sciences, Federico II Naples University, Via Cintia, 80126, Naples, Italy.

Background: The mitochondrial cofactors α-lipoic acid (ALA), coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and carnitine (CARN) play distinct and complementary roles in mitochondrial functioning, along with strong antioxidant actions. Also termed mitochondrial nutrients (MNs), these cofactors have demonstrated specific protective actions in a number of chronic disorders, as assessed in a well-established body of literature.

Methods: Using PubMed, the authors searched for articles containing information on the utilization of MNs in inflammatory disorders as assessed from in vitro and animal studies, and in clinical trials, in terms of exerting anti-inflammatory actions. Read More

Coenzyme Q10 supplementation and oxidative stress parameters: a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials.

Authors:
Abolfazl Akbari Gholam Reza Mobini Shahram Agah Mojgan Morvaridzadeh Amirhossein Omidi Eric Potter Siavash Fazelian Seyed Hossein Ardehali Elnaz Daneshzad Sadegh Dehghani

Purpose: Oxidative stress (OS) is associated with several chronic complications and diseases. The use of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) as an adjuvant treatment with routine clinical therapy against metabolic diseases has shown to be beneficial. However, the impact of CoQ10 as a preventive agent against OS has not been systematically investigated. Read More

Coenzyme Q (CoQ) is a ubiquitous factor present in cell membranes and mitochondria, both in its reduced (ubiquinol) and oxidized (ubiquinone) forms. Its levels are high in organs with high metabolism such as the heart, kidneys, and liver because it acts as an energy transfer molecule but could be reduced by aging, genetic factors, drugs (e.g. Read More
