α-Lipoic Acid Promotes Neurological Recovery After Ischemic Stroke by Activating the Nrf2/HO-1 Pathway to Attenuate Oxidative Damage

This 2017 in vivo and in vitro study published in Cell Physiology and Biochemistry (DOI: 10.1159/000481840, PMID: 28992629) investigated the neuroprotective effects of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) in models of ischemic stroke. Administered after middle cerebral artery occlusion in rats, ALA significantly reduced infarct volume, brain edema, and oxidative stress while

Α‑lipoic acid protects against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion-induced injury in rats

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)
