Biochem/physiol Actions

(R)-(+)-α-Lipoic acid was shown to significantly increase pyruvate oxidation while abrogating fatty acid oxidation in rat hepatocytes. These effects make R-(+)-α-Lipoic acid a promising treatment option for the treatment of Type II diabetes.[1] It is a biological antioxidant with prooxidant activities[2][3], its therapeutic potential is widely investigated[4][5][6], e.g. in the treatment for Alzheimer′s disease.[7]
