Alpha lipoic acid in obstetrics and gynecology

open access: yesGynecological Endocrinology, 2018
Alpha-Lipoic acid (ALA) is a natural antioxidant synthetized by plants and animals, identified as a catalytic agent for oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and α-ketoglutarate. In this review, we analyzed the action of ALA in gynecology and obstetrics focusing in particular on neuropathic pain and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action.

Dihydro-alpha-lipoic acid has more potent cytotoxicity than alpha-lipoic acid

open access: yesIn Vitro Cellular and Developmental Biology - Animal, 2009
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.

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 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.
