Ubiquinol shows partial benefits
Sex-Dependent Protective Effect of Combined Application of Solubilized Ubiquinol and Selenium on Monocrotaline-Induced Pulmonary Hypertension in Wistar Rats.
Study highlights mixed results.
We explored the impact of ubiquinol on pulmonary hypertension using a model that mimics this serious condition. In our study, rats were injected with monocrotaline, a substance known to induce pulmonary hypertension. Over the course of the experiment, we provided various groups of these rats with different treatments, including solubilized ubiquinol and selenium, to see how these substances could protect against the effects of the disease.
The results were quite enlightening. We observed that ubiquinol administered intravenously had a protective effect, especially in male rats. This treatment reduced the right ventricle hypertrophy and lung mass commonly associated with elevated blood pressure in the lungs. Interestingly, when we combined ubiquinol with selenium, we found a less severe increase in right ventricle systolic pressure in males but not in females, indicating a sex-dependent effect that suggests females may not experience the same benefits from this combination treatment.
However, it's worth noting that the relative mass of the right ventricle did not show significant differences across all treatment groups. This suggests that while ubiquinol can be beneficial, particularly in males, the overall benefits may be limited and not as pronounced in females. Magnetic resonance imaging further revealed impaired lung perfusion in most rats tested, with signs of pulmonary fibrosis only present in the group receiving ubiquinol.
Overall, while ubiquinol shows potential in addressing pulmonary hypertension, its effectiveness might vary based on sex and should be approached with cautious optimism.

Improved blood pressure
Having been on four blood pressure medications for resistant hypertension for over 15 years, I developed tinnitus, possibly due to my meds. While researching treatments, I discovered the benefits of CoQ10 levels. After starting Ubiquinol, my blood pressure improved significantly, allowing me to stop my calcium channel blocker. Swimming workouts also became much easier. I highly recommend consulting a healthcare professional before starting CoQ10/Ubiquinol.
