Assembly and Characterization of Biocompatible Coenzyme Q -Enriched Lipid Nanoparticles.

Coenzyme Q (CoQ ) is a strongly hydrophobic lipid that functions in the electron transport chain and as an antioxidant. CoQ was conferred with aqueous solubility by incorporation into nanoparticles containing phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) and apolipoprotein (apo) A-I. These particles, termed CoQ nanodisks (ND), contain 1.
