abstract:
The coenzyme Q8 (CoQ8) and alpha-tocopherol contents of different mitochondrial fractions were investigated from occipital cerebral cortices of different ages. The highest CoQ8 and vitamin E concentrations were found in non-synaptic free mitochondria (FM) fractions. In several cases heavy mitochondria (HM) fractions displayed the lowest values. Occipital cerebral cortex mitochondria contained higher CoQ9 and lower CoQ10 amounts than those typical for other brain regions
