Coenzyme Q10 is required by every cell in our body Coenzyme Q10 is key to the chemical reactions that produce cellular energy Coenzyme Q10 soaks up free radicals that damage your cells Coenzyme Q10 protects low-density lipoproteins from oxidation Help defeat the ravages of aging and potenitally even prolong life by adding Natural Factors Coenzyme Q10 to your supplement regime Today! throughout the body – as occurs in about two in fiy people – it is very serious. Of all the inflammatory biomarkers, it's the worst and appears to be genetically influenced. One reason that MPO is so dangerous is that it produces numerous oxidants that make all cholesterol compounds more inflammatory. is includes HDL, the "good" cholesterol that normally helps clean the arteries, protecting against plaque buildup. If your blood levels of MPO are high, HDL goes rouge and joins the gang of inflammatory thugs. MPO interacts with hydrogen peroxide in the bloodstream to produce hypochlorous acid (the active ingredient in bleach). Inside the blood vessels, this acid attack can eat holes in the lining, making it easier for cholesterol to penetrate and form plaque. Another of MPO's nasty tricks is reducing the body's production of nitric oxide (NO), the best "food" to nourish the endothelium and protect its health. Lowering NO weakens the integrity of the endothelium, which can either promote atherosclerosis, or for people who already have plaque in their arteries, magnify the risk and cause a heart attack or stroke. MPO also contributes to creating vulnerable plaques by making the normally protective fibrous cap that covers plaque more prone to rupture. What the Results Mean: e normal value is less than 420 pmol/L. Elevated MPO predicts future risk for coronary artery disease and cardiovascular events, including fatal heart attacks and strokes. In a recent study, people with higher levels of MPO were 2.4 times more likely to die from heart disease over the next 13 years.
