Coenzyme Q10 |
| SAMPLE |
|
blood |
| DEFINITIONS |
|
Coenzyme q10 (CoQ 10) or ubiquinone is essentially a vitamin or vitamin-like substance. Its main
function is as part of the respiration chain (complex II-III) of the mitochondria. Another important
function is its role in the prevention of fat oxidation lipid oxidation) in cooperation with Vitamin E. The
biosynthesis of CoQ10 from the amino acid tyrosine is a multistage process requiring at least eight
vitamins and several trace elements. It is a fat-soluble vitamin-like substance present in every cell of
the body and serves as a coenzyme for several of the key enzymatic steps in the production of energy
within the cell. It also functions as an antioxidant which is important in its clinical effects. It is naturally
present in small amounts in a wide variety of foods but is particularly high in organ meats such as
heart, liver and kidney, as well as beef, soy oil, sardines, mackerel, and peanuts. It has no known
toxicity or side effects. CoQ10 deficiency is especially known to be a consequence of high dosed statin
therapy. Therefore all patients taking statins should try and control this particular enzyme. |

Glutathione
(GSH, GSSG, GSH/GSSG) |
| SAMPLE |
|
blood |
| DEFINITIONS |
|
Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide that protects cells from toxins such as free radicals. It can be
synthesized from the amino acids cysteine, glutamate and glycine. It’s also needed for the
detoxification of methylglyoxal, a toxin produces as a by-product of metabolism. GSSG is the reduced
form of GSH.
Dietary intake of sulfur-containing amino acids like cysteine is also required to maintain your levels of
glutathione. Glutathione is constantly used up in the removal of toxic molecules and prevention of
oxidative damage. |

| DEFINITIONS |

Antioxidants are dietary substances including some nutrients such as beta carotene, vitamins C and E
and selenium, which can prevent damage to your body cells or repair damage that has been done.
Antioxidants work by significantly slowing or preventing the oxidative — or damage from oxygen —
process caused by substances called free radicals that can lead to cell dysfunction and the onset of
problems like heart disease and diabetes. Antioxidants may also improve immune function and
perhaps lower your risk for infection and cancer |

| DEFINITIONS |
|
Micronutrients are elements that are necessary for life but only needed in small amounts. They
include vitamins, antioxidants, and some trace elements that are needed for anti oxidative,
detoxification and metabolism regulating functions eg: Chromium, Copper, Magnesium, Selenium, and
Zinc. Lower levels are involved in increased oxidation and free radical formation, disturbed metabolic
function in detoxifying cytochromes of the liver, and decreased activity of glucose and fructose
converting enzymes. Decreased energy formation of the Krebns cycle and disturbed fatty acid
oxidation, as well as protein formation and amino acid functions of the entire organs, especially the
brain, is also noted. |

Plasma thiols
[(Homocysteine, Glutathione
(GSH, GSSG, GSH/GSSG)] |
| SAMPLE |
|
blood |
| DEFINITIONS |
|
Plasma thiols consist of homocysteine and glutathione. Homocysteine is an indicated
Transmethylation. It is an important organic chemical reaction in which a methyl group is transferred
from one compound to another. The recovery of methionine from homocysteine is one example. In
order to sustain reaction rates during metabolic stress, this reaction requires adequate levels of
vitamin B12 and folic acid. Deficiency in these nutrients causes increased level of circulating
homocysteine. Elevated homocysteine is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is linked to the
metabolic syndrome. Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide that protects cells from toxins such as free
radicals. It can be synthesized from the amino acids cysteine, glutamate and glycine. It’s also needed
for the detoxification of ethylglyoxal, a toxin produced as a by-product of metabolism. Dietary
intake of sulfur-containing amino acids like cysteine is also required to maintain your levels of
glutathione. Glutathione is constantly used up in the removal of toxic molecules and prevention of
oxidative damage. |

blood |
| DEFINITIONS |
|
Trace element is an element in a sample that has an average concentration of less than 100 parts per
million measured in atomic count, or less than 100 micrograms per gram. In biochemistry, a trace
element is a chemical element that is needed in minute quantities for the proper growth,
development, and physiology of the organism. In biochemistry, a trace element is also referred to as a
micronutrient. |
