Study aim
-
Determining the effect of coenzyme Q10 on inhibiting ferroptosis in patients with thalassemia major
-
Design
-
The present semi-experimental study is a before and after clinical trial without control group done on 50 patients with thalassemia major. In addition to the standard treatment, the patients also receive a 100 mg Q10 tablet daily for eight weeks. Before the study, the parameters of ferroptosis including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione peroxidase, ferritin, hemoglobin, ESR and CRP will be evaluated, and after eight weeks of intervention, the parameters will be evaluated again.

Settings and conduct
-
50 patients are selected from the thalassemia patients referred to Hajer Shahrekord Hospital in 1402. These patients are selected in a similar way (patients who are similar in terms of blood collection intervals). this study is a before and after clinical trial without control group.
The relevant laboratory parameters including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione peroxidase, ferritin, hemoglobin, ESR and CRP will be measured for these patients before start intervention (baseline), and then, after eight weeks of taking one 100 mg Q10 tablet daily, in addition to the standard treatment, Patients will also receive the supplement
