Latest findings on CoQ10 presented at conference

More than 300 scientists heard about the importance of CoQ10 at the International CoenzymeQ10 Association 4th World Conference April 14-17, 2005. The meeting presented the latest findings on bioenergetic and antioxidant properties of CoQ10, latest clinical findings in heart failure, as well other biomedical roles and clinical implications. Among the issues that were presented at the meeting were the importance of CoQ10 in endothelial function, its relationships with statins and left ventricle diastolic function and its newly described role in improving the clinical outcome of patients when combined with mild hypothermia after cardiac arrest.

While the bulk of CoQ10 knowledge involves its antioxidant and bioenergetic properties, the Los Angeles conference presented new findings on the non-mitochondrial electron transport functions of CoQ10 and insights into gene-expression effects. Other advances have been made in the areas of neuromuscular and neurodegenerative diseases, fertility, dermatology and mechanisms of aging.

Jarrow Formulas was the Los Angeles organizer for conference. The International Coenzyme Ql0 Association is a nonprofit association, based out of the University of Ancona, Italy. The association’s main objective is to encourage and promote the development, advancement and exchange of CoQ10 research worldwide.
