Mode of action of CoQ10-MITO-Porter

Caption

CoQ10-MITO-Porter (green sphere with red and blue protrusions) is taken up by liver cells (hepatocytes) and targets mitochondria. The delivery of CoQ10 reduces the excess ROS produced by mitochondria and thus reduces oxidative stress. (Mitsue Hibino, et al. Scientific Reports. May 10, 2023).
