Alpha Lipoic Acid Energy Production, Antioxidant Activity And Health Effects

Divided into three sections, this book covers the latest discoveries in the chemistry, biological action, and significance of alpha-lipoic acid in energy production, antioxidant activity, and health. Section I reviews the discovery, molecular structure, and biosynthesis of lipoic acid. Section II describes metabolic aspects, pharmacodynamics, and lipoic acid in energy production and antioxidant activity. Section III discusses clinical aspects and the treatment of metabolic syndromes and loss of mitochondrial function with lipoic acid supplementation.Patel, Mulchand S. is the author of 'Alpha Lipoic Acid Energy Production, Antioxidant Activity And Health Effects', published 2008 under ISBN 9781420045376 and ISBN 1420045377.
