Abstract

It was found out that when the patients with atherosclerosis are orally administered ubiquinone Q₁₀ (CoQ₁₀), oxidation (lipid hydroperoxide content) of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles sharply decreases, which confirms important role of this natural antioxidant in protecting LDL particles from free radical oxidation in vivo. Influence of the lipophilic natural antioxidants ubiquinol Q₁₀ (CoQ₁₀H₂) and α-tocopherol (α-TOH) on the kinetic parameters of Cu²⁺-induced free radical oxidation of LDL particles was investigated. In this model system, possible synergism of the antioxidant action of CoQ₁₀H₂ and α-TOH has been shown. Putative mechanisms of bioregeneration of lipophilic antioxidants in LDL particles, including regeneration of α-TOH from the tocopheroxyl radical (α-TO^•) with participation of CoQ₁₀H₂ and/or ascorbate, are discussed.

研究发现，动脉粥样硬化患者口服泛醌 Q10（CoQ10）后，低密度脂蛋白（LDL）颗粒的氧化（脂质氢过氧化物含量）会急剧下降，这证实了这种天然抗氧化剂在体内保护低密度脂蛋白颗粒免受自由基氧化的重要作用。研究了亲脂性天然抗氧化剂泛醌醇 Q10（CoQ10H2）和α-生育酚（α-TOH）对 Cu2+ 诱导的 LDL 颗粒自由基氧化动力学参数的影响。在该模型系统中，CoQ10H2 和 α-TOH 的抗氧化作用可能具有协同作用。研究还讨论了低密度脂蛋白颗粒中亲脂性抗氧化剂的生物再生机制，包括在 CoQ10H2 和/或抗坏血酸的参与下，从生育酚自由基（α-TO-）中再生出 α-TOH。
