Alpha-lipoic acid protects against cholecystokinin-induced acute pancreatitis in rats.

AIM Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) has been used as an antioxidant. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of alpha-lipoic acid on cholecystokinin (CCK)-octapeptide induced acute pancreatitis in rats. METHODS ALA at 1 mg/kg was intra-peritoneally injected, followed by 75 microg/kg CCK-octapeptide injected thrice subcutaneously after 1, 3, and 5 h. This whole procedure was repeated for 5...

Beneficial effects of alpha lipoic acid on cerulein-induced experimental acute pancreatitis in rats.

BACKGROUND The present study aimed to determine the effects of alpha lipoic acid (ALA) on blood and tissue biochemical parameters, as well as tissue histopathology, in an experimental rat model of cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis (AP). METHODS Three groups consisting of eight rats each were used, as follows: Group 1, controls; Group 2, cerulein-induced pancreatitis group treated with salin...

Therapeutic Potentials of Silver Nanoparticle Complex of α-Lipoic Acid

Silver (SN) nanoparticles were re‐dispersed in aqueous solution of Pluronic F127 and complexed with the antioxidant, alpha‐ Lipoic acid (LA). The nanoparticle ‐ LA complex (SN‐LA) was characterized using SEM. SN‐ LA exhibited DPPH radical scavenging activity in vitro and anti‐ inflammatory activity against acute and chronic paw models of edema in mice. SN‐LA protected ...

Enantioselective Pharmacokinetics of α-Lipoic Acid in Rats

α-Lipoic acid (LA) is widely used for nutritional supplements as a racemic mixture, even though the R enantiomer is biologically active. After oral administration of the racemic mixture (R-α-lipoic acid (RLA) and S-α-lipoic acid (SLA) mixed at the ratio of 50:50) to rats, RLA showed higher plasma concentration than SLA, and its area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to th...

The Effects of α-Lipoic Acid against Testicular Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Rats

Testicular torsion is one of the urologic emergencies occurring frequently in neonatal and adolescent period. Testis is sensitive to ischemia-reperfusion injury, and, therefore, ischemia and consecutive reperfusion cause an enhanced formation of reactive oxygen species that result in testicular cell damage and apoptosis. α-lipoic acid is a free radical scavenger and a biological antioxidant. It...
