چکیده
Background and Objective: Lead poisoning has harmful effects on various body organs. Coenzyme Q10 (COQ10) plays a decisive role in many biological activities, such as intracellular antioxidant protection. Apoptosis is expressed and regulated in the liver by the mfn1 and mfm2 family genes. We aimed to investigate the effect of COQ10 gastric gavage on the expression of these genes in the liver of lead-infected rats.
