Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), izwi kandi ku izina rya ubiquinone, igizwe n’ibice 10 bya isoprene, bizwi kandi nka decenequinone (izina ryimiti: 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-6-decylisoquinone) Pentenyl-benzoquinone) ni quinone ibinure cyane ifumbire iboneka cyane mu musemburo, amababi y'ibimera, imbuto, n'ingingo zinyamaswa.

Coenzyme Q10 yibanda cyane mu mwijima, umutima, impyiko, glande ya adrenal nizindi ngingo zo mumubiri wumuntu. Ni antioxydants isanzwe irashobora kurwanya kwangirika kwumubiri na bagiteri na radicals yubuntu, igatera imikurire yimikorere no kwikosora, bityo igatera imbere Ifite imikorere yubudahangarwa bw’ibinyabuzima, kongera ubushobozi bwa antioxydeant, gutinda gusaza, nibindi.
Umubare rusange wa coenzyme Q10 mu mubiri wumuntu ni garama 0.5-1.5, ubusanzwe ukaba uri hejuru kubagabo ugereranije n’abagore, kandi usanga ahanini mu ngirangingo z'imitsi. Ibiri muri coenzyme Q10 mumubiri wumuntu bigabanuka uko imyaka igenda ishira, igera ku mpinga kumyaka 20, kandi umusaza wimyaka 77 afite coenzyme Q10 kurenza umugabo wimyaka 20. Coenzyme Q10 mumitsi yumutima yurubyiruko yagabanutseho 57%.

1. Antioxydants
Coenzyme Q10 nuguhindura ingufu muri mitochondria. Ifite uruhare muri "Tricarboxylic acide cycle" mu kohereza no gutanga electron kugirango ikore ATP (adenosine triphosphate), ibintu bitera imbaraga za metabolism. Ubushakashatsi bwerekanye ko coenzyme Q10 mu mubiri ishobora kubyara VE mu buryo butaziguye hamwe na radicals yubusa ya peroxide nyuma yo guhinduka muburyo bwa alcool, kandi ikagira uruhare rwa antioxydeant yigenga kandi ifatanijeVE.

2. Kwera
Coenzyme Q10 irashobora kubuza cyane kubyara ubwoko bwa UV buterwa na ogisijeni ya ROS kandi ikabuza kubyara α-MSH muri selile HaCaT. α-MSH, nanone yitwa imisemburo itera melanocyte, ahanini itera ururenda rwa melanin, iteza imbere dendrite ya melanocyte, kandi ikarinda melanocytes. Coenzyme Q10 nigikoresho cyiza cya melanin inhibitor hamwe nigikoresho cyera uruhu gishobora gukoreshwa mumavuta yo kwisiga.
3. Gusana inzitizi kandikurwanya gusaza
Coenzyme Q10 ifasha gusana inzitizi ya epidermal no kurwanya gusaza.

Incamake: Coenzyme Q10 ni antioxydants ikungahaye ku binure ishobora gukoreshwa mu gusiba ogisijeni yubusa kandi igatinda gusaza kwuruhu. Irashobora kwinjira neza muruhu, igatera ibikorwa bya selile, kandi ikanoza ubwiza bwuruhu; irashobora guteza imbere metabolism y'uruhu, gusana inkari zuruhu, nibindi.
