Nano-Q10 Supplementation Improves Skeletal Muscle Mitochondrial Capacities in Equine Athletes
Coenzyme-Q is vital for mitochondrial respiration, but the impact of coenzyme-Q supplementation on equine skeletal muscle mitochondria is unknown. Exercising Thoroughbred horses (8.7±2.2 yr) were used in a cross-over design to test the hypothesis that supplementation of highly bioavailable coenzyme-Q (Nano-Q10, Kentucky Equine Research) would improve mitochondrial metrics in the gluteus medius. Muscle samples collected […]
