Description
Coenzyme Q8 (Ubiquinone 8) is an isoprenoid quinone that mediates electron transfer within the aerobic respiratory chain and reduces oxidative stress. Coenzyme Q8 maintains bacterial respiratory function and enhances host resistance to bacterial infection. Coenzyme Q8 stimulates macrophage phagocytosis and increases antibody-producing cells. Coenzyme Q8 can be used in infectious disease research[1][2].
