Effect of antioxidant-enriched foods on plasma Coenzyme Q₁₀ and total antioxidant capacity

Twenty healthy subjects integrated their diet with two types of products sequentially: In the first phase (first 14 days), the volunteers were given the following food items not supplemented with vitamin E (vit. E) or Coenzyme Q₁₀ (CoQ₁₀): breakfast, 250 mL skimmed milk; mid-morning snack, 330 mL fr...

Description
Summary:Twenty healthy subjects integrated their diet with two types of products sequentially: In the first phase (first 14 days), the volunteers were given the following food items not supplemented with vitamin E (vit. E) or Coenzyme Q₁₀ (CoQ₁₀): breakfast, 250 mL skimmed milk; mid-morning snack, 330 mL fruit juice; mid-afternoon snack, low-fat yogurt 125 g; after dinner, low-fat dessert 110 g. In the second phase, from day 14 to day 35, the same items were added with vit. E and CoQ₁₀ (a total daily supplementation of 19.4 mg CoQ₁₀ and 13.7 mg vit.E). After taking the supplemented products for 2 weeks, plasma CoQ₁₀ reached 1.30 μg/mL, nearly twice the initial values. These levels further increased after 3 weeks of supplementation. Vit. E levels significantly (p
