Summary

The proposed focuses on improving both morbidity and mortality in older Veterans and those recovering from COVID-19 by developing rehabilitation therapies to augment vascular endothelial function by combating the oxidative stress and inflammation associated with aging and further induced by COVID-19. The investigators expected outcomes will have an important positive impact because they will provide scientifically sound recommendations for rehabilitation to improve vascular endothelial function and minimize the long-term consequences of COVID-19.

Conditions

  • Long-COVID

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Mitoquinone

Mito-Q is a supplement that targets mitochondrial function. Linking a triphenyl-phosphonium cation to coenzyme-Q, to produce Mito-Q, results in a lipophilic compound, which, due to the large mitochondrial membrane potential, selectively accumulates within mitochondria. This targeted antioxidant approach results in 50- to 100-fold more Mito-Q accumulation compared to non-targeted antioxidant delivery.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Placebo

A placebo will be used in combination with exercise rehabilitation allowing for a double blinded placebo controlled design.
