Brief Summary

Diabetes is considered an oxidative stress and a chronic inflammatory disease. Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) is recognized as a lipid soluble antioxidant. Ubiquinol is a reduced form of coenzyme Q10 in our body after food or supplements intakes. Studies have indicated that the water-soluble ubiquinol had better antioxidant activity and absorption than lipid-soluble. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a water-soluble ubiquinol supplement (100 mg/d) on antioxidation and anti-inflammation in diabetes patients.
