Abstract
Coenzyme Q is called by another name of ubiquinone and occurs as coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in the body. In this paper serum CoQ10, serum lipid and lipoprotein were measured pre- and postoperatively in order to clarify pre- and postoperatively in order to clarify hemodynamic changes in CoQ10 and the body response caused by surgery. Preoperative LDL-CoQ10 accounted for 42.9±8.0% of the total serum CoQ10 and VLDL-CoQ10 was rather lesser. On the first day after surgery the total serum CoQ10 and LDL-CoQ10 were both decreased, however, the LDL-CoQ10 to the total serum CoQ10 ratio was relatively increased. Serum cholesterol was not decreased on the 1st day but recovered to 93.0±13.2% of the preoperative level on the 7th day after surgery. Serum LDL also showed the lowest value on the 1st day, and recovered to 112.2±19.1% of the preopeartive level on the 7th day after surgery.
These findings indicate a possible existence of body These findings indicate a possible existence of body the liver to cells in recovery period from surgical invasion.
