Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Alpha-lipoic acid and vitamin E have synergistic effects, as determined in models of oxidant radical lesions. This review summarizes recent findings showing that the combination of alpha-lipoic acid plus vitamin E has beneficial effects in reducing oxidative damage in ischemic or other oxidation-related pathological events. Both antioxidants are common in the normal human diet and side effects are very rare. Therefore, alpha-lipoic acid and vitamin E can counteract oxidative processes and could have an important role in clinical medicine.
