摘要
The levels of coenzyme Q were determined in brood plasma and regenerating liver mitochondria of hepatectomized rats, using as controls either sham-operated or non-operated animals. Mitochondrial CoQ(9) content increased in sham-operated rats, whereas it was significantly lower in hepatectomized with respect to non-operated animals. Plasma CoQ(9) levels decreased dramatically in hepatectomized animals, but increased strongly in sham-operated in comparison with non-operated rats. The data suggest the possibility of a rate-limiting step in CoQ biosynthesis in hepatectomized animals.
