Coenzyme Q10 treatment of hyperlipidemia and hypertension:
Both hyperlipidemia and hypertension are risk factors for coronary artery disease which have been treated with some success using coenzyme Q10 supplementation. For further information, please see hyperlipidemia, hypertension, or coenzyme Q10 sections of Preventive Health Advisor.
Treatment of endothelial function:
Endothelial function is the ability of blood vessels to respond to the body’s blood flow requirements. The endothelium is the inner lining of blood vessels. Endothelial dysfunction occurs after a substance acts upon the endothelium of blood vessels to cause an imbalance of contraction and dilation. Endothelial dysfunction is associated with atherosclerosis, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Dysfunction in this lining is characterized by inflammation, reduced dilation of the blood vessels and an increased tendency to form clots. Thus, endothelial function is important for cardiovascular health.
