DETAILS

Description (English)

Analysis Note
identity confirmed by LC-MS
Biochem/physiol Actions
(R)-(+)-α-Lipoic acid was shown to significantly increase pyruvate oxidation while abrogating fatty acid oxidation in rat hepatocytes. These effects make R-(+)-α-Lipoic acid a promising treatment option for the treatment of Type II diabetes. 1
