Abstract
Ageing is characterized by a progressive decline in the physiological functions of various organs. Mitochondrial alterations occurring in senescence. Antioxidants, including coenzyme Q10 concentration, fall with ageing and contribute to enhanced oxidative stress age-related diseases. The impairment of platelet mitochondrial function occurs in a broad spectrum of diseases. Â The aim of this study was to evaluate mitochondrial function in platelets in elderly and young human controls and correlate it with a concentration of coenzyme Q10. Platelets mitochondrial function was determined by the use of High-Resolution Respirometry method. We did not find significantly decreased platelet mitochondrial function in elderly subjects. Dependence of platelets mitochondrial respiratory chain function and ATP production at Complex I on a concentration of coenzyme Q10 in platelets and whole blood in young not in elderly human volunteers was document...
