AIM: Individuals with diabetes and prediabetes are at risk of vascular injury. However, the exact mechanisms are unclear. The mitochondria mobile electron carrier coenzyme Q(10) (CoQ(10)) is a potent lipophilic antioxidant. We hypothesize that oxidative stress, detectable as changes in plasma CoQ(10) concentrations and composition, plays an important role in vascular disease in diabetes.
