A Phase 1 interventional study of Administration of a product with Fitosomed Ubiquinone and Coenzyme Q10 level in muscle biopsies in Coenzyme Q10, Oxidative Stress and Aging, sponsored by Centre d'Alt Rendiment. Completed at 1 site in Spain. Open to participants aged 50 Years to 65 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-03-28.

It is proposed to establish a group of subjects composed of 10 healthy individuals of> 50 years and \<65, physically active, without metabolic or inflammatory pathology. All of them will undergo a health examination and the physical condition and the absence of contraindication of the sports practice will be characterized through a monitored effort test. Each subject will take a capsule of coenzyme Q10® INDENA for 30 days. The dose to be administered is 100 mg/d of CoQ10 a with food (noon). The state of physical condition and the biochemical and biological variables that reflect oxidative stress and mitochondrial functioning before and after the intervention will be measured.
The purpose of the study is in the first time determine the variation of the levels of coenzyme Q10 in different tissues, plasma, urinary epithelium, muscle, mononuclear cells, before and after the administration during one month of 100 mg of phytosomal ubiquinone (INDENA). Secondly, it is intended to determine the antioxidant functionality of the administered ubiquinone, evaluating its effect on the oxidative pattern that occurs after an exercise of moderate intensity, but performed in a stressful environment, a climatic chamber where the temperature is 35ºC and there is 55% humidity. To this end, the collaboration of 12 healthy volunteers, and 10 control subjects, over 50 and under 65, active runners with experience, without active inflammatory pathology, without prescribed medical treatment and with the commitment not to take any nutritional supplementation. There is also a compromise by athletes on maintaining the diet and training as it is at the time of the first evaluation The subjects sign an informed consent to carry out the study and they are shown the acceptance of the Ethics Committee approved by the General Directorate of Sports of the Generalitat of Catalonia. Basal blood samples are taken, the sample is taken from the first urine in the morning and a muscle biopsy is performed on the vastus lateralis of the m. quadricipitalis. On a second day, a progressive, maximum effort test is carried out in order to characterize the level of physical condition and determine the working regimes in the climatic chamber. They are re-scheduled for a third day for that purpose. On that day blood is drawn to obtain the Total Antioxidant Capacity of the blood and they are exposed to the temperature and humidity and are asked to run on the treadmill for 5 minutes at each of the speeds corresponding to 70, 75 and 80% of the maximum speed reached in the first test. At the end a lactate sample is taken. This period of 15 minutes is repeated 3 times. When finished, at the 30th minute, a new blood sample is taken to assess the TAC postexercise/exposition.
The stress test and blood extractions, urine collection and muscle biopsy are repeated after one month of taking the phytosomed Ubiquinone.
There is a control group of 10 subjects who follow absolutely the same path, but do not take any supplementation (Ubiquinone) and do not have a muscle biopsy.
Centre d'Alt Rendiment is the lead sponsor of 3 studies on the registry; none are open to participants now.

Also known as: Muscle Biopsy
Determination of Ubiquinone concentration in different tissues before and after one month of supplementation or not
Determination of the Total Antioxidant Capacity after strenous exercise in the Climate Chamber
Also known as: TAC after exercise
Change in the concentration of CoQ10 on different tissues after supplementation for a month
Evaluate the change in the concentration of CoQ10 on plasma, muscle, monouclear cells and urinary epithelium, by specific analysis of every sample tissue at the Pathology Dept and the Methabolopathies Dept of the Pediatric Hospital of Sant Joan de Deu
Time frame: 6 months
Effect of the CoQ10 supplementation on the oxidative response to stressing exercise under heat and humidity
Determination of the inflammatory response before and after stressing exercise at the climate chamber at 35ºC and 55% humidity. The procedure is by the analysis of the venous blood extracted previous the exercise stress and 30 minutes after the period of work
