'''Coenzyme Q<sub>10</sub> (CoQ<sub>10</sub>)''', a lipophilic substituted benzoquinone, is a naturally occurring nutrient found within every cell of both animal and plant cells. It is endogenously synthesized and plays a critical role in a variety of cellular processes. CoQ<sub>10</sub> is an obligatory component of the respiratory chain in the inner mitochondrial membrane and is also the only endogenous lipid antioxidant, highlighting its singular importance in cellular health and function. Its presence is not limited to the mitochondria but extends to all cellular membranes and is detectable in the blood. | '''Coenzyme Q<sub>10</sub> (CoQ<sub>10</sub>)''', a lipophilic substituted benzoquinone, is a naturally occurring nutrient found within every cell of both animal and plant cells.
