Abstract
In conclusion, from the data presented it would appear that vitamin K and ubiquinone may participate in the transformation of energy during mitochondrial oxidation reduction reactions. Whether they are acting as cofactors and enter into the chemical reactions directly is a question that cannot yet be answered, at least, not by this investigator.Keywords
