ABSTRACT
Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a chronic and extremely debilitating illness
characterized by prolonged fatigue and multiple symptoms with unknown
cause, diagnostic test, or universally effective treatment.
Inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and CoQ10
deficiency have been well documented in CFS. We conducted an 8-weeks
randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the
benefits of oral CoQ10 (200 mg/day) plus NADH (20 mg/day)
supplementation on fatigue and biochemical parameters in 73 Spanish CFS
patients. This study was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02063126).
A significant improvement of fatigue showing a reduction in FIS total
score (p< 0.05) was reported in treated group vs. placebo. In
addition, a recovery of the biochemical parameters was also reported.
NAD+/NADH (p< 0.001), CoQ10 (p< 0.05), ATP (p< 0.05) and
citrate synthase (p< 0.05) were significantly higher and
lipoperoxides (p< 0.05) were significantly lower in blood mononuclear
cells (BMCs) of the treated group. These observations lead to the
hypothesis that the oral CoQ10 plus NADH supplementation could confers
potential therapeutic benefits on fatigue and biochemical parameters in
CFS. Larger sample trials are warranted to confirm these findings.
