THE ACTIVITIES OF COENZYME-Q(10) AND VITAMIN-B(6) FOR IMMUNE-RESPONSES

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) have been administered together and separately to three groups of human subjects. The blood levels of CoQ10 increased (p<0.001) when CoQ10 and pyridoxine were administered together and when CoQ10 was given alone. The blood levels of IgG increased when CoQ10 and pyridoxine were administered together (p<0.01) and when CoQ10 was administered alone (p<0.05). The blood levels of T4- lymphocytes increased when CoQ10 and pyridoxine were administered together (p<0.01) and separately (p<0.001). The ratio of T4/T8 lymphocytes increased when CoQ10 and pyridoxine were administered together (p<0.001) and separately (p<0.05). These increases in IgG and T4-lymphocytes with CoQ10 and vitamin B6 are clinically important for trials on AIDS, other infectious diseases, and on cancer. © 1993 Academic Press, Inc.
