The present invention provides an antioxidative composition with high safety, which is capable of lessening oxidative stress due to active oxygen species, free radicals, or the like in vivo, thereby preventing the occurrence or worsening of a disease. <??>It was confirmed that by using a composition containing oxidized coenzyme Q and/or reduced coenzyme Q, the amount of urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyquanosine can be decreased in normal or diabetic animals. Also, in histopathological research of the spleens of diabetic rats, it was confirmed that spleen tissue denaturation caused by oxidative stress can be prevented. It was thus found that oxidative stress in vivo can be lessened. <??>According to the present invention, oxidative stress in vivo can be lessened by using a composition containing coenzyme Q as an active ingredient.
