Alpha-Lipoic Acid Reduces NLRP3/ASC Expression and IL-1β Release in Kupffer Cells and Improves Insulin Signaling in FL83B Hepatocytes Exposed to a Conditioned Medium. [PDF]
Alpha‐lipoic acid (ALA) reduced NLRP3/ASC expression, attenuated upstream NF‐κB/ERK signaling, and decreased IL‐1β release while preserving mitochondrial membrane potential in murine Kupffer cells subjected to LPS priming and a second signal. Conditioned medium from ALA‐pretreated Kupffer cells (particularly 100 μM) enhanced glucose uptake and improved

Dihydro-alpha-lipoic acid has more potent cytotoxicity than alpha-lipoic acid
Alpha-lipoic acid has been shown to possess cancer-cell-killing activity via activation of the apoptosis pathway. In this study, the cytotoxic activities of alpha-lipoic and dihydro-alpha-lipoic acid were compared in HL-60 cells. The cell-killing activity of dihydro-alpha-lipoic acid was higher than that of alpha-lipoic acid.
