    AnnotationTo elucidate pro- and anti-oxidant action of MitoQ10, we studied its effects on HEP-G2 cell respiration, mitochondrial network morphology, and rates of superoxide release (above that neutralized by superoxide dismutase) to the mitochondrial matrix (Jm). Results suggest that MitoQ10 accepts electron prior to the rotenone-bound Q-site, and the Complex II reverse mode oxidizes MitoQ10H2 to regenerate MitoQ10. Consequently, MitoQ10 has a pro-oxidant role in intact cells, whereas it serves as an antioxidant when Complex I-derived superoxide generation is already elevated due to electron flow retardation
