Knowing the functions of Pyroquinoline Quinone (PQQ)

Pyroquinoline Quinone (PQQ) is widely present in various common foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, and beverages, including plant-based foods and animal based foods.

Its functions include:

1. Super strong antioxidant capacity: specifically reflected in: protecting mitochondria from oxidative damage; Inhibition of lipid peroxides; Protect the redox sites of oxidative NMDA receptors, thereby promoting the recovery of spinal cord injury and preventing cerebral ischemia and hypoxia.

2. Hepatoprotective effect: PQQ can protect the liver against alcohol and carbon tetrachloride induced liver damage, as well as TAA induced liver fibrosis.

3. Neuroprotective effect: PQQ can improve neuronal damage caused by oxygen and glucose deprivation models, inhibit neuronal degeneration, and β The nerve damage caused by amyloid protein has a weakening effect and helps promote the secretion of neurotrophic factors.

5. Role of growth factors: PQQ is an essential nutritional factor for animal growth and development, and plays a very important role in the growth and development of young animals.

6. Anti inflammatory function and enhanced immune regulation of the body: PQQ can clear ROS and combat inflammatory damage caused by oxidative stress.
