Alpha-Lipoic Acid Prevents Mitochondrial Damage and Neurotoxicity in Experimental Chemotherapy Neuropathy

open access: yesExperimental Neurology, 2008
The study investigates if alpha-lipoic acid is neuroprotective against chemotherapy induced neurotoxicity, if mitochondrial damage plays a critical role in toxic neurodegenerative cascade, and if neuroprotective effects of alpha-lipoic acid depend on ...

Alpha lipoic acid for dementia

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2002
Oxidative processes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative dementias including Alzheimer's disease. Protecting the central nervous system against these damaging mechanisms may be a useful therapeutic approach. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is an endogenous antioxidant that interrupts cellular oxidative processes in both its oxidized ...

Alpha lipoic acid intoxicatıon: An adult

The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2018
Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a potent antioxidant used to treat a variety of disorders. Although ALA is considered a very safe supplement and intoxication is very rare, acute high-dose ingestions can cause mortality. In this report, we discuss a very rare case of ALA intoxication to increase awareness of this issue.A 22-year-old female was referred to ...

Alpha-lipoic acid as a biological antioxidant

Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 1995
alpha-Lipoic acid, which plays an essential role in mitochondrial dehydrogenase reactions, has recently gained considerable attention as an antioxidant. Lipoate, or its reduced form, dihydrolipoate, reacts with reactive oxygen species such as superoxide radicals, hydroxyl radicals, hypochlorous acid, peroxyl radicals, and singlet oxygen.

Alpha-lipoic acid

Arbor Clinical Nutrition Updates, 2006
In a nutshellALA is a powerful antioxidant, both water and lipid soluble, that can also regenerate other antioxidants.A range of ‘antioxidant’ and other clinical indications (such as chelating toxic metals) have been tested in small, open trials and/or animal studies.

ALSUntangled #79: alpha-lipoic acid

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Degeneration
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring fatty acid. It serves as an essential cofactor for enzymatic reactions in mitochondrial energy production, is a potent antioxidant and has anti-inflammatory effects, which are plausible mechanisms in slowing ALS progression.

The effects of alpha-lipoic acid on diabetic myopathy

Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 2017
Increased oxidative stress and impaired antioxidant defense are important mechanisms in the pathogenesis of diabetic myopathy. Since diabetes mellitus type 1 decreases muscle regeneration capacity the present study was designed to determine the influence of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), a potent biological antioxidant, on the process of regeneration of ...

Alpha-lipoic acid in the treatment of diabetic polyneuropathy

Zhurnal nevrologii i psikhiatrii im. S.S. Korsakova, 2018
The issues of classification, pathogenesis, pathomorphology and treatment of diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) are addressed. Pathogenetic mechanisms of the action of alpha-lipoic acid in treatment of DPN are justified. The authors present the results of randomized placebo-controlled trials of alpha-lipoic acid that revealed the high clinical efficacy and ...

Alpha lipoic acid: a novel treatment for depression

Medical Hypotheses, 2000
Insulin resistance has been associated with people diagnosed with depression. Conversely, it has also been documented that diabetics have an increased risk of depression. Evidence suggests that insulin activity plays a role in serotonergic activity by increasing the influx of tryptophan into the brain. This increased influx of tryptophan has been shown
