Notes: (R)-α-Lipoic acid is the naturally occurring enantiomer of lipoic acid, a cyclic disulfide antioxidant.{12280} It acts as a cofactor in 2-oxo dehydrogenase complex reactions, where it is reduced to dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA; Item No. 16372). (R)-α-Lipoic acid (100 mg/kg per day) decreases serum levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and increases the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and total antioxidative capabilities (T-AOC) in a mouse model of accelerated senescence induced by D-galactose (Item No. 20890).{33019} It also reduces the escape latency in the Morris water maze compared to both D-galactose and vehicle control groups and rescues decreases in neural progenitor cell proliferation in the hippocampal dentate gyrus.
