NCIt definition : A naturally occurring benzoquinone important in electron transport in mitochondrial
membranes. Coenzyme Q10 functions as an endogenous antioxidant; deficiencies of this
enzyme have been observed in patients with many different types of cancer and limited
studies have suggested that coenzyme Q10 may induce tumor regression in patients with
breast cancer. This agent may have immunostimulatory effects. (NCI04);
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A nutrient that the body needs in small amounts to function and stay healthy.
Coenzyme Q10 helps mitochondria (small structures in the cell) make energy. It is
an antioxidant that helps prevent cell damage caused by free radicals (highly reactive
chemicals). Coenzyme Q10 is fat-soluble (can dissolve in fats and oils) and is found
in fatty fish, beef, soybeans, peanuts, and spinach. It is being studied in the prevention
and treatment of some types of cancer and heart disease and in the relief of side
effects caused by some cancer treatments.;
