Redox-active quinone originally identified as a bacterial cofactor for quinoprotein dehydrogenases. Proposed to activate PGC-1α + mitochondrial biogenesis via the cAMP-CREB pathway in mammalian cells (Chowanadisai 2010). Small human RCTs show modest reductions in inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6) at 20 mg/day.
