Description of Mitoquinone mesylate

MitoQ is a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant that selectively blocks mitochondrial oxidative damage and prevents liver cell apoptosis. MitoQ is based on a novel technology, targeted lipophilic cations that transport and concentrate antioxidants into the mitochondria—organelles inside cells that provide energy for life processes—where they accumulate up to a thousand fold.  Targeted antioxidants can reduce the hepatic oxidative damage that is induced by viral infection and that is also involved in the progression of NAFLD through to NASH, leading to fibrosis or cirrhosis.
