Effect of ubiquinone-10 on the blood system in rats exposed to radiation

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2002 Jun;133(6):562-4. doi: 10.1023/a:1020225623808.

Abstract

The use of synthetic ubiquinone-10 (2 and 10 mg/kg) as a therapeutic food additive normalized the counts of erythrocytes, reticulocytes, and leukocytes and the content of hemoglobin in the blood and inhibited lipid peroxidation in erythrocytes in irradiated rats (3 Gy).
