[[Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)]], also known as ubiquinol in its oxidized form, ubiquinone, is a crucial component in the mitochondrial electron transport chain.

CoQ10's cardiovascular protective qualities are well-established, with evidence showing its ability to improve hyperglycemia, hypertension, oxidative stress, and reduce the risk of cardiac events{{pmid|32331285}}. Notably, endogenous synthesis of CoQ10 declines with age, and higher mitochondrial levels have been linked to increased longevity. This connection is particularly evident in skeletal muscle health in the elderly, where higher plasma CoQ10 content correlates with improved muscle integrity and reduced levels of inflammatory markers such as TNF-α, IL-6, and CRP{{pmid|29459830}}. | CoQ10's cardiovascular protective qualities are well-established, with evidence showing its ability to improve hyperglycemia, hypertension, oxidative stress, and reduce the risk of cardiac events{{pmid|32331285}}.

In the context of NAD+ supplementation, apigenin’s involvement with the SIRT1, NAD+, and CD38 axis is particularly notable. It enhances endogenous NAD+ levels by inhibiting CD38 and increasing the activation ratio of SIRT1 and NAD+/NADH, thereby reducing cellular senescence due to oxidative stress{{pmid|34049472}}{{pmid|32507768}}. This strong inhibition of CD38 by apigenin makes it an integral part of strategies aimed at restoring age-related depletion of NAD+ levels, enhancing the effectiveness of NMN supplementation and overall geroprotective strategies. | In the context of NAD+ supplementation, apigenin’s involvement with the SIRT1, NAD+, and CD38 axis is particularly notable.
