Abstract

Aging is a very complex process in which many factors are involved. As a common factor the accumulation of damaged cell and tissue structures, impair cell activity at different levels ending in the malfunction of organs and cell death. In this process, dysfunctional mitochondria play a very important role. Coenzyme Q is a key factor in the activity of mitochondria and in the protection of cells against lipid peroxidation. Its levels decrease during aging and supplementation improve cell functionality and delay the progression of age-related diseases. In this chapter, the importance of CoQ in aging and the strategies to restore levels in the cell and organs are shown. These strategies can help to improve health during aging and demonstrate that the maintenance of CoQ levels can be considered a good antiaging strategy.
