Possible Interaction: Ubiquinone and Levocarnitine

“However, pretreatment with L-carnitine and coenzyme Q10 increased serum sex hormones level and improved semen parameters significantly.”

“Pretreatment with L-carnitine and Coenzyme Q10 significantly decreased the MDA level and increased total antioxidant, LH and testosterone levels.”

“Serum IgG content was improved by L-carnitine supplementation alone (p < 0.05), but lysozyme activity was increased by L-carnitine + CoQ10 supplementation together (p < 0.05).”

“… CoQ10 (30 mg CoQ10 … diet) together with L-carnitine (2.8 mg carnitine kg-1 diet), alpha-tocopherol (30 IU vitamin E kg-1 diet) and selenium (1 mg … as sodium selenite kg-1 diet), decreased DNA damage and the activities of Ca2+, ASAT and ALAT in the liver.”

“The results indicate that administration of L-carnitine and coenzyme Q10 in association reduces damage induced by chronic alcohol poisoning and hyperbaric oxygen.”

“This protective action is more marked when L-carnitine and coenzyme Q10 are administered together.”

“Although the molecular mechanisms remain to be defined, it appears that the association of L-carnitine and coenzyme Q10 is more effective than using these compounds separately.”

“The complementary and synergic actions of L-carnitine and coenzyme Q10 on metabolism and against peroxidation by oxygen reaction species may explain the efficacy of their association.”

“The protective effect exerted by the combined use of L-carnitine and CoQ against damage by the anthracycline derivative doxorubicin has been compared to the protection exerted by each compound alone.”

“The results obtained suggest that the administration of an association of L-carnitine and CoQ exerts a stronger protection against anthracycline damage and induces a greater utilization of fatty acids as compared to the effects of each compound alone.”

“Based on the results, combination of Q10 plus L-carnitine and TLC die can be a potential intervention for improving QoL and secondary prevention.”

“In the physical subscale, Q10 plus L-carnitine group showed a significant improvement compared to groups A and D (P < 0.001 and P < 0.0001, respectively), but not group C (P < 0.860).”

“Co-incubation of muscle samples with 1 mM L-carnitine , 100 μM mevalonate or 10 μM coenzyme Q10 (Co-Q10) abolished simvastatin effects on both mitochondrial glutamate/malate-supported respiration and lactate release.”

“A combination of l-carnitine and coenzyme Q10 provided better protection against oxygen toxicity caused by the mycotoxins growth than they did individually.”
