Abstract

The effects of inhibition of ubiquinols and ubiquinones with various length of isoprenoid chain on the lipid peroxidation in membranes of brain mitochondria and synaptosomes were studied. The efficiency of inhibition effects of ubiquinols depends on the length of isoprenoid chain. Ubiquinols with shorter isoprenoid chains demonstrated more effective inhibition.
