Abstract excerpt
Rett syndrome (RTT), a neurodevelopmental disorder primarily affecting females, is characterized by mutations in the MECP2 gene, leading to systemic oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. This study investigates the role of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), particularly its reduced form ubiquinol, in modulating oxidative stress and mitochondrial function in primary dermal fibroblasts derived from RTT patients with...
