Monograph α α α α α-Lipoic Acid Synonyms: Thioctic acid; 2-dithiolane-3 penatanoic acid; 1,2-dithiolane-3 valeric acid Pharmacokinetics α-Lipoic acid (ALA) can be synthesized by both animals and humans. 1 It seems to be readily absorbed from an oral dose and converts easily to its reduced form, dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA), in many tissues of the body. An in vitro study 2 indicated that normal mam-malian cells appear to be capable of taking up α-lipoic acid and reducing it to DHLA. The effects of…

The results obtained from the use of the racemic form of lipoic acid could not reveal whether both or one of the isomers had been responsible for the toxic effects in the deficient animals, and could not be related to the depletion of theThiamine reserves present in the organs of thiamine-deficient animals.

Evidence that a physiologically relevant compound can stimulate glucose transport via the insulin signaling pathway is found, as thioctic acid stimulates basal glucose transport and has a positive effect on insulin-stimulated glucose uptake.
