Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 ok...thanks for the links. Now, let me ask..What does it do to a person in laymans terms? symptoms, etc.?? Physical changes? I have severe CoEnzyme Q10 deficiency and oxidative stress accorinding to my blood test. Do you think this plays a part in your physical appearance (wrinkles etc)? Krystena R.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Krystena, sorry that link was so much mumbo jumbo, you know the specifics of this stuff is way over my head. Here is a good link, I read it and get it. Coq10 is an anitoxident so it would make sense that you have oxidative stress if you are deficient. I too have cq10 def. Are you sure we weren't seperated at birth? How are the kids? ANCS? http://www.mdausa.org/publications/Quest/q61coq10.html Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Can somone tell me what oxidative stress is? Krystena, I found an excellent book that explains oxidative stress and antioxident therapy: The Super Antioxidents By F. Balch, MD It is very informative and easy to read and completely explains what oxidation is and how antioxident therapy helps. I started takeng Green Tea Extract for my eczema after reading about it in this book. The GTE has significantly reduced the inflammation I experiance with e. HTH, let me know if you have more ?'s e, Chelsea's mom(nonspeicific mito) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think this plays a part in your physical appearance (wrinkles etc)? I have read (and heard on news stories) that oxidative stress is directly linked to aging, as is dysfunctiong or deterioration of the mitochondria. A free radical, which causes oxidative damage, is missing an electron and roves thru the body until it robs another cell of an electron. This causes that cell to become unstable and can lead to DNA damage and mutation. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals to prevent them from doing damage. Antioxidents are reccomended for mito, even without deficiencies, as mito pts are thought to be under excessive oxidative stress.
