Official title
Mitochondrial-Targeted Antioxidant Supplementation for Improving Cerebrovascular Function in Postmenopausal Women
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if 3 months of taking the dietary supplement MitoQ \[a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant that targets to reduce mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mitoROS)\] works to treat age- and menopause-related reductions in brain artery (cerebrovascular) function in postmenopausal women 60 years of age or older free of clinical disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does MitoQ improve cerebrovascular function in postmenopausal women? If so, does MitoQ improve cerebrovascular function by lowering mitoROS in these arteries? Researchers will compare MitoQ to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if MitoQ can improve cerebrovascular function by lowering mitoROS in arteries involved in brain health and function. Participants will: Take MitoQ (20 mg/day) or a placebo every day for 3 months Visit the research laboratory at baseline and then after 3 months for cerebrovascular testing; there is also a check-in visit at 6 weeks, which is the halfway point Keep track of symptoms and events during their treatment period to report to the study team
