Autoimmune disorders may be difficult to treat, and there is a need to develop novel therapeutic strategies for these disorders. Autoimmune disorders are characterised by mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammation; there is therefore a rationale for a role for coenzyme Q10 in the management of these disorders, on the basis of its key role in normal mitochondrial function, as an antioxidant, and as an anti-inflammatory agent. In this article, we have therefore reviewed the potential role of CoQ10, in terms of both deficiency and\/or supplementation, in a range of autoimmune disorders.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms25084576","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,22]],"date-time":"2024-04-22T12:38:41Z","timestamp":1713789521000},"page":"4576","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Coenzyme Q10 and Autoimmune Disorders: An Overview"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"David","family":"Mantle","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pharma Nord (UK) Ltd., Morpeth NE61 2DB, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Iain P.","family":"Hargreaves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool L3 3AF, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"509","DOI":"10.1038\/s41581-023-00720-1","article-title":"Pathogenesis of autoimmune disease","volume":"19","author":"Pisetsky","year":"2023","journal-title":"Nat.
