This 2015 study published in Molecular Medicine Reports (DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2015.3170, PMID: 25572614) explored the neuroprotective effects of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) in a rat model of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The results showed that ALA treatment significantly reduced infarct size, improved neurological deficits, and decreased oxidative stress markers, including malondialdehyde (MDA)
