Double Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study of MitoQ as Adjunctive Treatment for Patients With Early-phase Schizophrenia-spectrum Disorder and Mitochondrial Dysfunction

The goal of this double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial is to test the effect of 12 weeks of orally administered MitoQ (mitoquinol mesylate) supplementation on cognition in 50 people with early phase schizophrenia-spectrum disorders (E-SSD) who have mitochondrial dysfunction (called high risk, or HR). Cognitive impairments in SSD can cause significant disability. Yet, there are no effective treatments for cognitive impairments in SSD. It has been shown that alterations in a certain type of brain cell (parvalbumin interneurons, or PVI) underlie cognitive deficits in SSD. These PVI, which fire at a fast rate, utilize high amounts of energy from the mitochondria and are highly vulnerable to oxidative stress. MitoQ is an antioxidant. Research has shown that, in mice, MitoQ can reduce oxidative stress in the mitochondria. The main question that this clinical trial aims to answer is:
• Does MitoQ supplementation, compared to placebo, improve cognition in HR patients?
Secondary questions that this clinical trial aims to answer are the following: Does MitoQ supplementation, compared to placebo:
Improve positive and negative symptoms of SSD in HR patients?
Improve functioning in HR patients?
Improve/normalize blood markers of mitochondrial dysfunction in HR patients?
The investigators will enroll 100 individuals with E-SSD. These enrolled participants will participate in an initial screening visit to determine if they qualify for the actual clinical trial. At the screening visit, the investigators will ask about psychiatric history to determine diagnosis; ask about medical history; do a physical exam; collect blood and urine samples; do a pregnancy test; and ask participants to bring in their current medications in their original packaging so it is known what they are taking.
After the screening visit, the investigators will invite 50 HR patients (identified with a blood test) to continue with the clinical trial. Participants who qualify for the clinical trial will be asked to:
Take a supplement (MitoQ or placebo) once per day for 12 weeks in addition to their usual medications.
Come in for a study visit every 4 weeks over the 16-week study period. At these study visits, the investigators will do a physical exam; ask about symptoms and side effects; take blood and urine samples; and ask questions about general health and well-being, quality of life, mental health, emotional health, and mood. At visits 1 (baseline) and 4 (12 weeks), participants will also take a cognitive assessment.

Mitoquinone improves porcine embryo development through modulating oxidative stress and mitochondrial function

Article

作者: Lee, Yumin ; Lee, Sanghoon ; Cho, Jongki ; Choi, Seunghyun ; Cha, Dabin

Oxidative stress caused by excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) is one of the main causes of low efficiency in in vitro production of embryos. These ROS can cause mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis, resulting in poor embryo development. Therefore, to prevent mitochondrial damage and apoptosis caused by ROS, we investigated the effects of mitoquinone (MitoQ), a mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant, on the in vitro culture (IVC) of porcine embryos. Various concentrations of MitoQ (0, 0.01, 0.1, or 1 nM) were supplemented during the entire period of IVC. The results showed that supplementation with 0.1 nM MitoQ significantly increased the blastocyst formation rate, with a higher total cell number including trophectoderm cell number and higher transcript expression of lineage-specific transcription factors in blastocysts. In addition, the 0.1 nM MitoQ-treated group showed a significantly lower percentage and number of apoptotic cells in blastocysts with positively regulated transcript expression of apoptosis-related genes. Therefore, 0.1 nM MitoQ was suggested as optimal concentration for porcine IVC and used for further investigations. MitoQ treatment significantly reduced intracellular ROS levels and increased glutathione levels in Day 2 embryos, with upregulated the transcript expression of antioxidant enzymes-related genes. Furthermore, the MitoQ group exhibited a significantly higher mitochondrial quantity, mitochondrial membrane potential, and ATP content in Day 2 embryos, with increased transcript expression of mitochondrial biogenesis-related genes. Taken together, these findings reveal that MitoQ supplementation can enhance the developmental competence of porcine embryos by decreasing oxidative stress and improving mitochondrial function.

Article

作者: Mazaheri, Fahime ; Tavakolpoor Saleh, Nafiseh ; Karami, Somayeh ; Shahandeh, Erfan ; Mirzaei Azandaryani, Zahra ; Mohammadi, Hiwa ; Moradi Gardeshi, Tohid

OBJECTIVE:

Sperm freezing is considered as an effective way in assisted reproductive technology (ART) programs, it has detrimental effects on sperm function, due to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This study aimed to investigate the potential of Mitoquinone (MitoQ) in inhibiting the production of mitochondrial ROS during sperm freezing.

METHODS:

A total of 20 human normozoosperm samples were collected for this study. The samples were divided into four groups, each containing different concentrations of MitoQ (0, 0.2, 2, and 20 nM), and then subjected to the freezing process. After thawing, the sperm suspensions were evaluated for parameters including motility, morphology, acrosome integrity, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) level, intracellular ROS, viability, chromatin packaging, DNA denaturation, DNA fragmentation, as well as the expression of antioxidants (GPX, SOD) and apoptotic (Bax, Bcl₂) genes.

RESULTS:

The results showed that total and progressive mobility of sperms significantly increased in the 2 nM group, while significantly decreased in the 20 nM group (p ≤ 0.05). Sperm morphology did not significantly improve across all the tested concentrations (p ≥ 0.05). Intracellular ROS levels showed a significant decrease and increase in the concentrations of 2 and 20 nM, respectively (p ≤ 0.05). Furthermore, a significant increase was observed in viability, ATP, acrosome integrity, chromatin packaging, and non-denatured and non-fragmented DNA after treatment with 2 nM of MitoQ, compared with the control group (p ≤ 0.05). Regarding gene expressions, the relative expressions of oxidative stress genes were increased in the 2 nM group and decreased in the 20 nM group (p ≤ 0.05), while no significant difference was observed in the expressions of apoptotic genes compared with the control group (p ≥ 0.05). All the comparisons were made with respect to the control group.

CONCLUSION:

Adding the optimal concentration of MitoQ (2 nM) to the sperm freezing medium not only improves sperm functional parameters and reduces DNA damages, but also stimulates the expression of antioxidant genes, leading to even greater benefits for sperm cryopreservation.

Coumarin-Quinazolinone based photosensitizers: Mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum targeting for enhanced phototherapy via different cell death pathways

Article

作者: Li, Guorui ; Huang, Jing ; Jiang, Mingyan ; Wang, Ting ; Song, Zhibin ; Zou, Xiaoyan ; Zhao, Xuzi ; Yan, Jiangyu ; Shang, Fucheng

Organelle-targeted photosensitizers (PSs) offer valuable tools for improving photodynamic therapy (PDT), yet systematic studies on how different organelles influence phototherapeutic outcomes are limited. In particular, the connection between organelle targeting and various modes of programmed cell death remains unclear. In this study, we developed a series of PSs using the Coumarin-Quinazolinone (CQ) scaffold, each designed to target different organelles, including the mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), lysosome, and nucleolus. Our results show that their PDT performance is highly dependent on their localization, with phototoxic index (PI) ranging from 2 to 245. Notably, the mitochondria-targeted CQ-Mito and ER-targeted CQ-ER exhibited profound phototherapeutic performances, with PI of 167 and 245 respectively. Our further study reveals that CQ-Mito causes cell death by both apoptosis and ferroptosis, while CQ-ER primarily triggers ferroptosis. This study not only provides new agents for PDT but also offers insights into how organelle targeting influences cell death mechanisms, which can shed light on the design of PSs for controlled cell death.

解密肝脏健康的密钥：“新星”成分与“老将”成分谁能更胜一筹？

在中国，每100个人里面，就有将近一半的人可能被检查出患有脂肪肝1。高糖高脂肪的饮食结构、长期饮酒、熬夜加班等，都可能是伤害肝脏的“凶手”。身体出现的乏力、肝部隐痛、食欲减退、恶心呕吐2等问题，都可能是肝脏发出的“求救信号”。对于已经受损的肝脏而言，仅靠生活习惯的调整和日常养护，其帮助肝脏恢复最佳状态的效果收效甚微。因此我们首先要帮助肝脏“净化”已经出现的伤口，才能做到“净肝”“护肝”双结合，在此基础上才能重新拥有一个健康的肝脏。 01 肝脏与脂肪肝肝脏是人体内最活跃的一个器官，它就像一个大工厂，掌管着我们体内的新陈代谢，负责包括碳水化合物、脂质、蛋白质和氨基酸等多种物质在内的代谢活动3。肝细胞就像是这个大工厂中不停运转的“机器”，肝脏大部分的生理任务都由他们完成。为了更高效地执行任务，他们需要线粒体作为“电池”，源源不断的为他们提供能量。每个肝细胞内都含有1000-2000个线粒体，参与包括尿素循环、铁代谢、钙储存稳态、细胞增殖和信号转导等多种重要的细胞活动。所以一旦线粒体功能出现异常，就容易导致肝脏的功能也会相应受损，无法完成代谢、解毒等任务，并引发一系列健康问题，如脂肪肝、肝硬化和肝癌等4。为什么线粒体受损会容易引起脂肪肝等肝脏问题呢？这是因为肝脏作为脂肪代谢的工厂，脂肪酸的摄取、储存、输出和氧化都能在此完成。一旦脂肪酸的摄取、储存与输出、氧化之间失去平衡，就有可能出现脂肪酸过度累积的现象。线粒体作为这条“生产链”上的“电池”，支持着脂肪酸氧化释放能量。所以一旦线粒体受损“停电”，就有可能导致脂肪酸没有动力进行氧化分解，而在体内不断累积，最终就有可能形成脂肪肝5。线粒体氧化产生过量的自由基（ROS）是其“停电”的主要原因之一。所以恢复肝脏功能的首要任务就是帮助线粒体抗氧化、解决ROS。如果将ROS视作线粒体工作过程中的“电阻”，有两种方法能将它解决。一种是给线粒体通行开辟另一条道路，绕过这个“电阻”中断它的反应。体现这种抗氧化方法的抗氧化剂常见的有辅酶Q10、还原型辅酶I（NADH）、微量元素（锌）、维生素A等。另一种方法则是直接将“电阻”去除。如超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、过氧化氢酶等通常具备这种能力。这些都是线粒体抗氧化领域常见的“老将”，在解决脂肪肝问题上具有举足轻重的地位。然而近些年来，抗氧化界冉冉升起了一颗“新星”——MitoQ分子，目前国内外已有诸多学者对MitoQ分子展开了研究。今年6月份，由我国浙江大学和新西兰奥克兰大学针对于MitoQ分子的科研项目合作也已展开。那么作为后起之秀，它是否能成功“上位”，创造线粒体抗氧化领域的另一个传奇呢？作为一颗“新星”，它又具备了哪些与众不同的能力？ 02 解密线粒体抗氧化领域的“新星”成分 ——MitoQ 上世纪90年代，剑桥大学的Mike Murphy教授研发出一种线粒体靶向抗氧化剂——米托醌（MitoQ分子，后简称MitoQ）。和辅酶Q10一样，MitoQ也是通过中断“电阻”反应恢复线粒体功能。不同的是，辅酶Q10经常会被线粒体的双层膜结构“拒之门外”；而MitoQ在辅酶Q10的基础上还与亲脂性阳离子三苯基磷（TPP）结合，其中TPP就像一串“门禁密码”，帮助MitoQ直接进入线粒体内并不断累积，能更有效地防止线粒体氧化损伤和细胞死亡6。MitoQ的这个独到之处，让它在肝脏健康领域备受关注。它也通过各种证据向大家证明了它的实力。左图：MitoQ分子式；右图：MitoQ作用机制图。 1 MitoQ与酒精相关性脂肪肝炎：减少酒精诱导的脂肪变性和氧化损伤酒精会造成线粒体蛋白不可逆地被氧化，还会导致肝细胞膨胀和脂肪变性，造成脂肪酸代谢失调，引起脂质积累而发展成脂肪肝7。研究发现MitoQ可以抑制线粒体氧化和肝脂肪变性。实验中，研究人员通过给大鼠喂食乙醇制造出类似于人体内长期饮酒后的肝脏状态，并给它们使用不同剂量的MitoQ（5 和 25 mg/kg/天）。一段时间后，研究人员发现使用MitoQ能改善这些大鼠体内的脂肪变性，减少了含有不饱和脂质的脂肪性囊泡的数量和大小7。这个实验向大家证明了MitoQ能很好地改善酒精引起的脂肪变性，保护肝脏免受酒精诱导的氧化损伤。上图：MitoQ降低酒精引起的脂肪变性脂肪变性；下图：MitoQ减少脂肪性囊泡的数量和大小。 2 MitoQ改善非酒精性脂肪肝炎：减少脂肪变性，增加抗氧化分子 2023年MitoQ再次向大家证明，它不仅能改善酒精引起的脂肪肝，还能改善非酒精性脂肪肝炎。这项实验向大家证明了对于饮食诱导的脂肪肝，MitoQ也一样能有效减少脂肪变性和炎性病灶。而且，MitoQ治疗还能显著增加另一种形式的抗氧化剂分子：SOD和过氧化氢酶等，帮助线粒体抗氧化8。上图所示，添加MitoQ能减少脂肪变性和坏死性炎症反应。图a：肝脏脂肪变性和坏死性炎症的组织学评估。 3 MitoQ与酒精肝：恢复ALDH活性，加速乙醛清除酒精会导致肝脏内不断累积一种“剧毒”物质——乙醛。虽然线粒体中的乙醛脱氢酶2（ALDH2）就具有“解毒”作用。但是线粒体“解毒”同时会产生过量ROS/RON（活性氮），削弱ALDH2的功能9。研究发现，MitoQ能显著降低肝脏和血浆内的乙醛水平，帮助恢复ALDH的活性以加速乙醛清除9。上图所示使用MitoQ能降低乙醛水平，恢复ALDH活力。图： (A) 肝乙醇和乙醛浓度； (B) 血浆乙醇和乙醛浓度； (C) 肝脏 ALDH 活性； (D) 肝乙醇和乙醛代谢酶的表达。除了能对肝脏进行细胞级养护的MitoQ之外，一些其他成分也能有助于受损肝脏的恢复，如常见于咖啡豆中的绿原酸、保肝类产品中常出现的奶蓟草成分以及一些矿物质如锌、铬等，这些常见于市场的“老将”成分对于受损肝脏的恢复也能起到不错的疗效。 03 传统抗氧化剂：“前浪”选手的稳定发挥 1 绿原酸——减少脂肪堆积，提升肝脏代谢能力绿原酸是咖啡中仅次于咖啡因的物质，同样具备中和ROS的抗氧化功能10。同时它也能促进人体代谢，越来越多的研究证明绿原酸可以用来改善包括肥胖、血脂异常、胰岛素抵抗、非酒精性脂肪性肝等在内的疾病。研究人员发现使用绿原酸能帮助体脂含量在12周内下降3.6%，葡萄糖吸收减少6.9%11。这证明绿原酸能帮助人体维持血糖平衡，这对于肝脏调节糖分和改善新陈代谢具有重要作用。上表所示含绿原酸能帮助体脂从27.2%下降到23.6%。表：体脂平均值±标准差，持续12周 2 奶蓟草——降低肝脏脂质含量和MDA含量在很多传统保肝类产品中都能看到水飞蓟的存在。奶蓟草作为它的高纯度提取物同样具备这些功效。研究发现，奶蓟草不仅能加快体内代谢，降低肝脏内脂质含量，同时还能显著降低体内丙二醛（MDA）含量。其中MDA是脂质过氧化反应会产生的一种“有害物质”，它的存在会损伤肝细胞，影响其功能12。而奶蓟草能通过降低其含量，“净化”肝脏内环境。上图所示使用82天水飞蓟后血清超氧化物歧化（SOD）活性和丙二醛（MDA）含量。如图B所示，血清中MDA含量下降。图A：SOD活性；图B：MDA含量。 3 锌+铬——改善肝脏脂质代谢，减少甘油三酯累积锌作为一种常见的矿物质，以“促进生长发育，增强免疫力”的功能而被人们熟知。但其实它还能改善代谢紊乱和血脂异常13。有研究证明体内锌元素缺乏时，可能会引起肝脏的脂肪变性。所以，及时补充锌元素，也能使肝脏减少脂肪变性的可能14。同样是矿物质，铬元素通常会被忽视，但它也是人体所必需的存在。研究证明，铬同样具备保护肝脏的作用，能减少肝脏内甘油三酯的累积，升高代谢酶帮助肝脏脂质分解，对非酒精性脂肪肝具有一定保护作用15。肝脏作为一个默默无闻的“奉献者”，总是容易被人忽略。往往等人们意识到肝脏出现问题时，可能它已经跳跃式的发展成了“肝癌”等重症。因此需要我们主动给予它更多的关注和呵护，选择科学有效的成分能帮助人体修复受损肝细胞，清除自由基，让肝脏保持“通电”。当然，是选择“新星”成分还是相信传统“老将”成分，还需要更多时间去验证。如果这两者能强强联合，又会产生什么样奇妙的化学反应？当然，选择科学的成分很重要，改变生活习惯的重要性也不容忽视哦~ ---参考文献--- 1.

深度解读中新两国备忘录：MitoQ分子解锁抗衰密码

2024年6月14日，中方赴新访问期间，签署了两国在推进健康老龄化慢性病防治的战略合作备忘录，该科研项目由浙江大学和新西兰奥克兰大学合作开展，由新西兰企业MitoQ LIMIT独家支持，成为此次新西兰中国商业伙伴关系签约仪式的唯一一个健康科研项目，致力于为全球健康老龄化提供有效方案。新西兰总理拉克森(Christopher Luxon)和贸易部长麦克莱(Todd McClay)及十二家新西兰企业与各自的中国合作伙伴签约代表贸易部长麦克莱(Todd McClay)与MitoQ LIMITED首席执行官Mahara lnglis、浙江大学杨廷忠教授及奥克兰大学代表 01 两国最新科研项目引领抗衰老领域新方向探索我国健康老龄化之路我国是世界上老年人口最多、老龄化速度最快的国家之一，预计2025年每5名中国人中就有1名60岁以上的老年人，近80%的老年人至少患有一种以上慢性病，健康状况不容乐观1。衰老是每个人必经且不可逆转的生命历程2，实现健康老龄化已成为全球主流课题。目前，线粒体靶向抗氧化剂是全球抗衰老研究热门方向。上世纪90年代，剑桥大学的Mike Murphy教授研发出一种线粒体靶向抗氧化剂——米托醌（MitoQ分子，后简称MitoQ）。经历漫长的沉淀，已有数百篇研究积极探索了MitoQ在抗衰老、改善心血管功能等细胞健康相关维度的益处。在此背景下，我国浙江大学和新西兰奥克兰大学展开合作，继续探索“健康老龄化”的前沿科技——MitoQ在临床中的作用与价值。 MitoQ分子，靶向直达细胞线粒体 02 衰老起始于人体内每一个细胞维持人体内“能量工厂”的正常运转是关键衰老是每一条皱纹，每一根白发，还是每一次体力衰退？其实这些都只是外在表现，真正的衰老悄然无声，始于体内每一个细胞，当其基本功能开始衰退，器官逐渐失去功能3，随之发生衰老相关慢性疾病4。是什么让细胞开始衰老？让我们深入内部，解开衰老“密码”。人体由37万亿细胞组成5，每个细胞中有数千个“能量工厂”——线粒体6，负责提供生命活动所需能量的80%-90%7。它们负责将食物中营养物质（葡萄糖、脂肪、蛋白质等）和氧气转化为ATP8——这是人体最主要、最基本的燃料，驱动细胞完成生理活动。然而“工厂”还会产生额外的副产物，这就是自由基9。自由基是一种含有不成对电子的化学物质，在人体内是一把“双刃剑”。正常情况下自由基对细胞信号传递、维持内环境稳态等多方面起重要作用10，但是随着年龄增长，线粒体功能下降，对自由基的“管理能力”下降，过量的自由基就会破坏细胞的形态和功能，引发氧化损伤，进一步加速衰老及相关慢性疾病的发生11,12。 03 MitoQ深入细胞内部的“能量工厂” 结合自由基助力细胞修复与机体年轻化有效对抗自由基对线粒体的破坏是抗衰老及心血管疾病的重要方向之一，近年来科学家们特别关注针对线粒体的抗氧化剂，帮助中和自由基，减轻氧化损伤，帮助延缓衰老13。MitoQ是目前研究最为热门的线粒体靶向抗氧化剂之一，与普通抗氧化剂相比，MitoQ有何神奇之处呢？ 1 MitoQ精准靶向线粒体，深入自由基产生“源头”，较其他非靶向抗氧化剂清除能力增强数百倍10 线粒体内部是产生自由基的“源头”，然而其双层膜结构通常会将普通的抗氧化剂“拒之门外”，导致较低的自由基清除效率，对抗线粒体氧化损伤的效果并不理想。而MitoQ在辅酶Q10的基础上结合了亲脂性阳离子三苯基磷 (TPP)，相当于搭载“智能导航系统”，快速定位并进入细胞线粒体，相比其他非靶向抗氧化剂，MitoQ在线粒体内的浓度大约高出 1000 倍，清除自由基的能力增强数百倍，有效减少线粒体损伤，发挥强大的抗氧化作用14,15。临床研究发现，MitoQ抑制并清除线粒体内部自由基的积累，保护细胞免受氧化应激损伤，焕发细胞活力16,17。 MitoQ显著降低线粒体氧自由基水平17 上图所示细胞内线粒体氧自由基变化平均荧光强度。相比HG组，添加MitoQ后荧光强度减弱，代表线粒体内自由基水平降低。 CON：正常对照组 HG：高糖损伤组（自由基水平增强） HG+MitoQ：高糖损伤组添加MitoQ MitoQ显著增强细胞活性17 上图所示细胞活性水平。相比HG组，添加MitoQ后细胞活性水平显著增强，接近正常细胞。 CON：正常对照组 HG：高糖损伤组，细胞活性下降 HG+MitoQ：高糖损伤组添加MitoQ 2 MitoQ在体内可循环利用，提高生物利用率，延长抗氧化作用时间 MitoQ具有“自我修复”的能力，可以在体内不断循环利用。进入线粒体后，首先完成清除自由基的“使命”，之后它会与线粒体里的其他复合物发生反应，再次变得活跃，实现循环再利用，从而清除更多的自由基。这种独特的循环利用机制，使得MitoQ能够在长时间内持续发挥抗氧化作用，保护线粒体免受氧化应激的损害19。 3 MitoQ改善人体内氧化应激水平，支持抗击衰老的同时改善血管功能、抑制大脑皮层神经元凋亡，多领域协同助力健康老龄化的实现自由基水平升高导致氧化应激，严重损害细胞健康，并加速机体衰老19。为了促进健康老龄化，体外研究发现，MitoQ提高机体抗氧化功能，提升细胞健康20，助力延缓衰老。首个改善人体血管功能的抗氧化剂临床研究发现，健康人群服用MitoQ 6周后氧化应激水平降低，血管功能显著改善21。 MitoQ显著改善体内氧化应激水平21 上图所示氧化应激标志物（氧化低密度脂蛋白）水平。相比安慰剂组，服用MitoQ明显降低13%氧化应激标志物浓度。 Placebo：安慰剂组 MitoQ：服用MitoQ组 MitoQ动脉扩张水平增加了42%21，这意味着血管“年轻”了15-20岁上图所示肱动脉血流介导扩张 (BAFMD)水平。相比安慰剂组，服用MitoQ明显提高42%动脉扩张率。 Placebo：安慰剂组 MitoQ：服用MitoQ组随着大众对健康意识的提升，不仅关注良好的生活方式，更重视饮食和营养成分的摄入。作为近年来抗衰研究的热门“黑科技”，MitoQ快速并持久降低线粒体内自由基水平，帮助改善血管功能，降低与年龄相关心血管疾病风险等。本次浙江大学和奥克兰大学的科研合作，积极践行《“健康中国2030”规划纲要》，进一步探索MitoQ在抗衰等更多细胞健康领域的突破与创新，迎接细胞的健康新生。 ---参考文献--- 1. 国家卫健委等. “十四五”健康老龄化规划. 国卫老龄发〔2022〕4号 2.

MitoQ Hires New CSO: Siobhan Mitchell

AUCKLAND, New Zealand & IRVINE, Calif.--( BUSINESS WIRE )-- MitoQ Ltd. , a New Zealand-based cell health company that developed a world-first sub-cellular targeted antioxidant which directly combats cell stress, announces the appointment of Siobhan Mitchell as Chief Science and Technology Officer. MitoQ is the developer of the unique, next-generation cell health molecule with the same name, that is scientifically shown to penetrate deep within the cells to reduce cell stress. By supporting the body’s primary energy source – the mitochondria -- MitoQ is able to target cell stress and improve energy, increase exercise recovery and promote healthy aging. Mitchell, who relocated from the US to New Zealand’s MitoQ HQ for her new role, is a PhD scientist with expertise in strategy, execution and launch of digital health programs and nutrition products with targeted health benefits and claims. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Washington and is experienced in all aspects of clinical trial management, with a special focus on studies assessing behavior change, weight loss, mental health, nutrition, cognition, metabolism, and pharmacokinetics. She has spent the last 25 years researching how nutrition affects the brain, especially how it may delay brain aging. She’s worked on metabolic health, skin health, appetite, sports physiology, and cellular health. She’s also spent 15 years in functional food and medical nutrition companies and led a group working on digital health interventions for mental wellbeing and weight loss. Mitchell was most recently the Senior Director of Academic Research at NOOM Inc. where she led a team of clinical researchers investigating digital health interventions for weight loss, diabetes support, diabetes prevention, stress and anxiety management, and cancer support. Prior to that she was the Senior Principal Scientist at PepsiCo for over 4 years where she conducted studies assessing functional potential of novel ingredients or differentiated micronutrient forms and evaluated the business potential of new ingredients and health claims. Prior to that she was a Project Manager/Scientist for the Nestle Institute of Health Sciences and a Project Manager/Scientist at Unilever. “Siobhan is a fantastic addition to our team. She brings a depth of expertise and experience which will help take MitoQ to the next level. But more importantly – help everyone to understand the foundational role that cells play in their overall health and wellbeing,” says Mahara Inglis, Chief Executive Officer of MitoQ. In her role as CSO, Mitchell drives the science strategy for MitoQ, and makes sure all evidence for products is top-quality. She ensures that MitoQ is at the forefront of cellular health by spearheading partnerships with likeminded companies and universities. She’s currently working with the University of Colorado to assess how MitoQ can improve vascular health in older women as it’s been shown that exercise isn’t cardioprotective in post-menopausal women. The MitoQ team is eager to find out if they can help women keep their vasculature healthy via reducing oxidative stress. “What led me to MitoQ was the incredible science behind its patented ingredient Mitoquinol Mesylate, and the exciting future for cellular health solutions. MitoQ truly cares about gold standard science and has already shown to be hugely innovative as a supplement company,” says Siobhan Mitchell. MitoQ is a multi-patented, advanced antioxidant molecule that delivers targeted support to the cells’ mitochondria. The mitochondria provide approximately 90% of the energy the human body needs to function. As a by-product of this energy production process, the mitochondria also produce free radicals, and with age (coupled with other external and environmental stressors), the body loses its natural resistance to diffuse them. MitoQ is bio-designed to be absorbed deep inside of the cells where it can neutralize free radicals to combat cell stress, resulting in more energy, faster exercise recovery, immune support, deeper focus and overall optimized health. MitoQ Pure, the company's all-round flagship product, has been repeatedly shown to enhance energy levels and attention, with the brand having already committed over $60 million towards research supporting the varied benefits of their invention. For more information, visit www.mitoQ.com . MitoQ is available globally via the brand website ( www.mitoQ.com ) and on Amazon.com. About MitoQ MitoQ is a New Zealand cellular health company that invented an advanced molecule which is clinically proven to target cells for better health. Created at the University of Otago in the 1990s, MitoQ’s unique ingredient is available in a range of cellular products designed to empower the health and ambitions of every body. MitoQ’s potential benefits to health have been the subject of 18 clinical trials and over 750 independent published research papers by the likes of Harvard Medical School, UCLA and the University of Cambridge, and it holds 60 patents globally.
