Half-life of ubiquinone-9 in rat tissues

FEBS Lett. 1992 Nov 23;313(2):118-20. doi: 10.1016/0014-5793(92)81425-l.

Abstract

The half-life of ubiquinone-9 in various rat tissues was determined. Rats were injected intraperitoneally with [3H]mevalonate and the decay of radioactivity incorporated into ubiquinone-9 was followed using reverse-phase HPLC. The half-life varied between 49 h (testis) and 125 h (kidney).
