Coenzyme Q10 treatment reversed the HFD-impaired vascular reactivity of the thoracic aorta. Vascular responses to A KCl, B PE, or C Ach of the aorta in the ND, HFD and HFD + Q groups at the age of 20 weeks. Values are the mean ± SEM, n = 7 for each group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 versus the ND group and #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 versus the HFD group in the post hoc Tukey’s multiple range test. ND, normal diet, HFD, high fructose diet, HFD + Q, HFD with coenzyme Q10. PE, phenylephrine, Ach, acetylcholine
