    Alpha-Lipoic Acid Inhibits Proliferation and Invasion of Human Gastric Cancer Cells

    Background: Metastasis and invasion are the main causes of mortality in gastric cancer. To improve the treatment of gastric cancer, the development of effective and innovative antitumor agents toward invasion and proliferation is needed. Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), a naturally occurring thiol antioxidant, showed antiproliferative and cytotoxic effects on several cancers. So it is feasible to […]

    α-Lipoic acid modulates liver fibrosis

    Abstract Autophagy and apoptosis are important players in the progression of hepatic fibrosis via activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Despite the recently depicted antifibrotic effects of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), however, its modulatory effects on HSCs autophagy remain unverified. Our study aimed to elucidate the underlying antifibrotic mechanisms through which ALA mediates HSC autophagy and […]

    Effects of alpha lipoic acid and its R+ enantiomer supplemented to hyperbaric oxygen therapy on interleukin-6, TNF-α and EGF production in chronic leg wound healing.

    Abstract CONTEXT: Lipoic acid (LA) and hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (HBOT) improve chronic wound healing. OBJECTIVE: We compared the effects of LA or its enantiomer R-(+)-lipoic acid (RLA) on wound healing. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Groups LA + HBOT (L), RLA + HBOT (R) and placebo + HBOT (P). Lesion areas measured before treatment and on 20th and 40th day. […]

    Alpha lipoic acid inhibits oxidative stress-induced apoptosis by modulating of Nrf2 signalling pathway after traumatic brain injury.

    Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a powerful antioxidant which has been widely used in the treatment of different system diseases, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. But, there are few studies that refer to protective effects and potential mechanisms on traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study was carried out to investigate the neuroprotective effect following […]

    The Immunomodulatory Effect of Alpha-Lipoic Acid in Autoimmune Diseases.

    Αlpha-lipoic acid is a naturally occurring antioxidant in human body and has been widely used as an antioxidant clinically. Accumulating evidences suggested that α-lipoic acid might have immunomodulatory effects on both adaptive and innate immune systems. This review focuses on the evidences and potential targets involved in the immunomodulatory effects of α-lipoic acid. It highlights […]
