Abstract
Coenzyme Q10-dependent MRC activity in GC reduces with aging. This reduction is diminished upon in vitro CoQ1 supplementation, indicating that CoQ10 deficit is the underlying cause for the mitochondrial dysfunction. The results show that functional CoQ10 status can be assessed by measuring complex II + III activity in GC and might provide a useful monitoring tool for future clinical studies of oral CoQ10 supplementation to older patients undergoing IVF treatment.
