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. It is a biological antioxidant with prooxidant activities, its therapeutic potential is widely investigated, e.g. in the treatment for Alzheimer′s disease.
