Searching of Protein Targets for Alpha Lipoic Acid
Ácido alfa lipóico (ALA) é um dos oxidantes mais poderosos e um cofactor em complexos enzimáticos, apesar de seus mecanismos ainda não serem conhecidos. A pesquisa por alvos proteicos de ALA é fundamental para compreender seus processos de sinalização. Uma abordagem bioinformática foi usada a fim de se encontrar alvos hipotéticos para ALA usando o servidor Target Fishing Dock (TarFisDock). Cont...
متن کاملAlpha-Lipoic Acid
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral treatment with the antioxidant alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) in NIDDM patients with cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN), assessed by heart rate variability (HRV). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: In a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled multicenter trial (Deutsche Kardiale Autonome Neuropathie [DEKAN] Study), NIDDM patients with reduced HRV we...
متن کاملAlpha Lipoic Acid
Alpha lipoic acid, or just lipoic acid (LA), is a unique and potent antioxidant. It can deliver antioxidant activity in both fatand water-soluble mediums, and it is capable of having an antioxidant effect in both its oxidized (LA) and reduced (DHLA [dihydrolipoic acid]) forms (Goraca et al., 2011). This effectively allows LA to deliver its antioxidant effect to any cell or tissue type, as well ...
متن کاملAlpha-lipoic Acid Monograph
Introduction Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA – also known as thioctic acid) was discovered in 1951 as a molecule that assists in acyl-group transfer and as a coenzyme in the Krebs cycle. In the 1980s, the scientific community realized alpha-lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant. Several qualities distinguish alpha-lipoic acid from other antioxidants: ALA can be synthesized by animals and humans;1 it neu...
متن کاملDiabetes and Alpha Lipoic Acid
Diabetes mellitus is a multi-faceted metabolic disorder where there is increased oxidative stress that contributes to the pathogenesis of this debilitating disease. This has prompted several investigations into the use of antioxidants as a complementary therapeutic approach. Alpha lipoic acid, a naturally occurring dithiol compound which plays an essential role in mitochondrial bioenergetic rea...
