inheritance toxicity and sub-acute toxicity of coenzyme Q10. Method: The acute oral toxicity test
inheritance toxicity test including Ames test
polychromatic erythrocytes micronucleus test and sperm malformation test of coenzyme Q10 were carried out in mice and 30-day feeding test in rats was also conducted according to 《technical standards for testing & assessment of health food》. Result: The result of acute toxicity in mice exceeded 20 000 mg·kg-1 and all the results of inheritance toxicity test were negative. During the 30-day feeding experiment the rats grew well and there were no significant differences in body weight and food consumption compared with the control group. At the end of the experiment
compared with the control group
there were also no significant differences in blood and biochemical examination
The histopathological changes in liver
kidney
stomach
intestines
spleen
testicle and ovawy were not observed in every group. Conclusion: Coenzyme Q10 is in non-toxic class; no inheritance toxicity and sub-acute toxicity were observed.
