Effect of ubiquinone on phospholipid turnover after radiation injury

Natural Radioprotective Agents: An Overview

“…Among the coenzymes, the ubiquinones and α-lipoic acid are the most prominent radioprotective agents found in the plants as well as the animals. Ubiquinones or coenzymes Q, exert both protective and therapeutic effects in rats exposed to γ-rays [157,158]. They protect rat spleen [159] and membrane [160] against damages induced by ionizing radiations.…”

The role of ubiquinones in the regulation of lipid metabolism in rat thymocytes

“…In particular, it was found that Correspondence address: E.G. Novoselova, Institute of Biological Physics, USSR Academy of Sciences, Pushchino 142292, Moscow Region, USSR ubiquinone-induced accumulation or depletion of some phospholipids in rat organs is mainly determined by a change in the rate of phospholipid degradation [7]. It was also shown that the fatty acid composition of some bacteria depends on the concentration of ubiquinones [8].…”
