Can α-lipoic acid mitigate progression of aging-related decline caused by oxidative stress?

Maharsh K Patel et al. South Med J. 2014 Dec.

Abstract

Aging is progressively deteriorating physiological function that leads to increasing risks of illness and death. Increases in life expectancy and the aging of a large segment of the population have made age-related disability and morbidity increasingly important issues. Supplements such as α-lipoic acid may have antiaging effects by positively affecting oxidative stress, cognitive function, and cardiovascular function.
