Effects of CoQ10 on renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) in high salt-induced hypertensive rats.

Results of electrophysiological technology for RSNA showed that HS rats exhibited a significant higher RSNA (% of max) compared with the NS rats (P < 0.05, n = 7). When compared with HS + oil rats, 15-week of CoQ10 administration by gavage at the dose of 10 mg/kg attenuated RSNA (P < 0.05, n = 7). (A) Representative renal sympathetic nerve activity in different groups. (B) Bar graph comparing renal sympathetic nerve activity in different groups. Values are expressed as means ± SE. *P < 0.05 vs control (NS + oil or NS + CoQ10), †P < 0.05, HS + CoQ10 vs HS + oil.
