ABSTRACT
We focused on determination of whether atorvastatin 1) reduces CoQ content, 2) impairs mitochondrial function and 3) induces dose-dependent changes. Although the high dose of atorvastatin exerted a beneficial effect on the lipid peroxidation in plasma, coenzyme Q content was reduced and heart mitochondrial function was impaired. Physicians should be aware when prescribing statins mainly in higher doses to the patients with co-existing proved or supposed CoQ10 deficiency resulting from age-related decline, and metabolic or mitochondrial diseases (Ref. 3).
