Long et al., 2024), including the NADPH/FSP1/CoQ10 pathway, the dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) pathway, the GTP cyclohydrolase 1 (GCH1)/tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4)/dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) pathway, the membrane-bound O-acyltransferase 1/2 (MBOAT1/2) pathway, the peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) pathway, and the 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) pathway
A trial is presently being conducted to assess the value of supplemental coenzyme Q 10 and/or D-ribose in the treatment of congestive heart failure in patients with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (35)
High doses, repeated administration, vulnerable populations (pregnant animals), and sensitive tissues (gastrointestinal tract, reproductive organs) have all been evaluated
