    Lipoic acid alleviates schistosomiasis-induced liver fibrosis by upregulating Drp1 phosphorylation.

    Abstract Lipoic acid (LA) has been shown to possess protective effects against liver fibrosis mainly by induction of apoptosis of activated hepatic stellate cells, but the mechanism of LA activity in liver fibrosis has yet to be completely explained. LA occurs naturally in mitochondria as a coenzyme. In this study, we used mice with schistosomiasis-induced […]

    Inhibition effect of thiol-type antioxidants on protein oxidative aggregation caused by free radicals.

    Abstract This study was aimed to investigate the inhibition effect of thiol-type antioxidants on protein oxidative aggregation caused by free radicals and the underlying mechanisms using six different thiol-type antioxidants (N-acetyl-L-cysteine, methionine, taurine, alpha-lipoic acid, glutathione and thioproline), Cu2+-H2O2 as a free radical generator (mainly a hydroxyl radical generator) and bovine serum albumin as the […]

    Lipoic acid: physiological role and prospects for clinical application.

    Abstract α-Lipoic acid (also known as thioctic acid) is a natural vitamin-like compound. Lipoic acid contains asymmetrical carbon, which causes the presence of two possible optical isomers (enantiomers): R-lipoic acid (levogyrate isomer) and S-lipoic acid (rightspinning isomer). Lipoic acid functions as a cofactor for several important mitochondrial multienzyme complexes, enhances the uptake of glucose by […]

    Lipoic acid-induced oxidative stress abrogates IGF-1R maturation by inhibiting the CREB/furin axis in breast cancer cell lines.

    Abstract The beneficial effects of lipoic acid (LA) in cancer treatment have been well documented in the last decade. Indeed, LA exerts crucial antiproliferative effects by reducing breast cancer cell viability, cell cycle progression and the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, the mechanisms of action (MOA) underlying these antiproliferative effects remain to be elucidated. Recently, we […]

    Effect of an oral supplementation with a formula containing R-lipoic acid in glaucoma patients.

    Abstract OBJECTIVE: To analyse the safety and effectiveness of the oral administration of a commercialised supplement containing R-alpha lipoic acid, taurine, vitamins C and E, lutein, zeaxanthin, zinc, copper and docosahexaenoic acid, in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), and in control subjects. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective study of cases and controls was […]
