Alpha-Tocopherolquinone
α-Tocopherolquinone (α-TQ) is a metabolite of vitamin E that accumulates during hypoxic conditions and modulates mitochondrial respiration. Its reduced form, tocopherylhydroquinone, exhibits antioxidant properties. This small molecule is utilized in research exploring oxidative stress, bioenergetics, and hypoxia-related pathophysiology in both cellular and animal models.
