Coenzyme Q10 supplementation improves adipokine profile in dyslipidemic individuals: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In previous study, we found that coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) improved glucolipid profile in dyslipidemic individuals, but the mechanism is not yet clear. Adipokines have been demonstrated to be vital targets of metabolic diseases. The hypothesis that adipokines mediate the association of CoQ10 on glucolipid metabolism needs to be further studied in human.

Methods

In this randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial, 101 dyslipidemic individuals were administrated to 120 mg CoQ10 or placebo for 24 weeks. Anthropometric parameters, glucolipid profile, serum total adiponectin, leptin, and resistin were evaluated at baseline, week 12 and week 24.

Results

CoQ10 treatment significantly increased serum adiponectin levels at week 12 (165 [0, 362] ng/mL, p < 0.001)
