The long-term survival of a patient with pancreatic cancer with metastases to the liver after treatment with the intravenous alpha-lipoic acid/low-dose naltrexone protocol

The authors describe the long-term survival of a patient with pancreatic cancer without any toxic adverse effects. The treatment regimen includes the intravenous alpha-lipoic acid and low-dose naltrexone (ALA-N) protocol…

Cytoprotection against Cr6+-induced DNA damage by alpha-lipoic acid: implications in reducing occupational cancer risk

Alpha-lipoic acid (LA), the metabolic antioxidant, was evaluated for its potential to protect against Cr6+-induced DNA damage. Potassium dichromate was administered to Swiss albino mice orally ad libitum at the…

Alpha-lipoic acid prevents mitochondrial damage and neurotoxicity in experimental chemotherapy neuropathy

Abstract 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…

a-Lipoic acid is effective in prevention and treatment of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

a-Lipoic acid (α-LA) is a neuroprotective metabolic antioxidant that has been shown to cross the blood brain barrier. We tested whether a-LA is capable to prevent MOG35–55-induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis…
