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…
