Abstract

Ozone therapy is employed as a therapeutic agent in various diseases. Since ozone itself is a radical, using a small dosage of it is known to create an oxidative preconditioning in the body and trigger a strong antioxidant response against that. Coenzyme Q(10), as a strong antioxidant agent, is delivered as a supportive factor in many diseases involving oxidative stress.
