Popis: Administration of coenzyme Q-10 (10 mg/kg) once a day for 4 weeks decreased the arterial blood pressure in SHR's. Enalapril and nitrendipine administered in a single dose caused significant decrease of blood pressure. Application of enalapril and nitrendipine to rats chronically pretreated with coenzyme Q-10 revealed, that the maximal hypotensive effect was not greater, but it lasted much (ca. 2-times) longer. Independently of mechanism of this interaction it may be suggested that the chronic administration of coenzyme Q-10 would create the possibility of significant decrease of the frequency of some antihypertensive drug administration.
