More DescriptionSince its discovery in 1957, Coenzyme Q has piqued the interest of scientists from a wide range of disciplines because of its bioenergetics, vitamin-like behavior, and interactions with antioxidant vitamins E and C. Coenzyme Q: Molecular Mechanisms in Health and Disease is a comprehensive treatise on this often-studied coenzyme. International experts cover the research that led to its emergence as an exciting, new dietary supplement. Topics include new concepts on extramitochondrial functions of CoQ, recent discoveries in biosynthetic pathways for CoQ based on molecular genetic approaches, and the role of CoQ as an antioxidant.
