“…Although primary CoQ 10 deficiency is rare, a profound deficiency in skeletal muscle CoQ 10 has been reported in patients with multisystem mitochondrial encephalomyopathies (2,3 ). Cardiovascular disease has been associated with a CoQ 10 deficiency (4,5 ), and it is becoming increasingly apparent that other groups of patients may become CoQ 10 deficient, particularly individuals with ataxia (6 ) and some patients receiving statins (7 ).…”

“…Finally, plasma levels of CoQ10 did not correlate with urinary 8-iso-PGF2α before and after ATO therapy, suggesting that plasma CoQ10 levels might not represent levels of oxidative stress in patients with coronary artery disease. Effects of ATO on CoQ10 levels: Previous studies [10][11][12] have shown that statins reduce plasma levels of CoQ10, although another study 16) reported no reduction in plasma CoQ10 levels by statins. In the present study, ATO reduced plasma levels of CoQ10 and the reduction was greater in patients with a greater reduction in cholesterol.…”

“…18,19) It has been suggested that the reduction in plasma CoQ10 after statin therapy is due to a decrease in the amount of lipoproteins available for transport. 11,16) In other words, plasma CoQ10 may not decrease after statin treatment, if there are a sufficient number of lipoproteins to bind to the available CoQ10 molecules. It is still controversial as to whether or not statins might decrease tissue levels of CoQ10.…”
