Significant Protective Effect

В исследовании установлено, что использование высококалорийного холинодефицитного рациона (ВКХДР) у крыс привело к снижению уровня гемоглобина и эритроцитарных показателей, лейкоцитозу. Не выявлено достоверного влияния ВКХДР на общее количество тромбоцитов и эритроцитов. Добавление в рационы крыс карнозина и альфа-липоевой кислоты не оказало протективного влияния на изменения гематологического статуса в условиях развития НАЖБП. Studies on the effect of minor biologically active substances on the hematological parameters of rats against the background of induced fatty liver dystrophy. The addition of carnosine and alpha-lipoic acid to rat diets did not have a significant protective effect on changes in the hematological status in conditions of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Radiation Induced

Aim: In this study, we aimed to determine possible mitigation of radiationinduced toxicities in the duodenum, jejunum and colon using post-exposure treatment with resveratrol and alpha-lipoic acid. Background: After the bone marrow, gastrointestinal system toxicity is the second critical cause of death following whole-body exposure to radiation. Its side effects reduce the quality of life of patients who have undergone radiotherapy. Resveratrol has an antioxidant effect and stimulates DNA damage responses (DDRs). Alpha-lipoic acid neutralizes free radicals via the recycling of ascorbic acid and alpha-tocopherol. Objective: This study is a pilot investigation of the mitigation of enteritis using resveratrol and alpha-lipoic acid following histopathological study. Methods: 60 male mice were randomly assigned to six groups; control, resveratrol treatment, alpha-lipoic acid treatment, whole-body irradiation, irradiation plus resveratrol, and irradiation plus alpha-lipoic acid. The mice were irradiated with a single dose of 7 Gy from a cobalt-60 gamma-ray source. Treatment with resveratrol or alpha-lipoic acid started 24 h after irradiation and continued for 4 weeks. All mice were sacrificed after 30 days for histopathological evaluation of radiation-induced toxicities in the duodenum, jejunum and colon. Results and Conclusion: Exposure to radiation caused mild to severe damages to vessels, goblet cells and villous. It also led to significant infiltration of macrophages and leukocytes, especially in the colon. Both resveratrol and alpha-lipoic acid were able to mitigate morphological changes. However, they could not mitigate vascular injury. Conclusion: Resveratrol and alpha-lipoic acid could mitigate radiation-induced injuries in the small and large intestine. A comparison between these agents showed that resveratrol may be a more effective mitigator compared to alpha-lipoic acid.

Background: Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) was used in the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) using different routes, doses and treatment durations. The aim of this work is to assess the efficacy of oral 600mg ALA twice daily over 6 months in the treatment of patients with DPN. Methods: This is a prospective, single-center, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study conducted at the outpatient clinic of Mansoura Specialized Hospital, Mansoura University. A total of 200 patients with DPN were randomly assigned to add on treatment with either oral 600mg twice daily ALA (n=100) or placebo (n=100) for 6 months. Treatment outcome was assessed using vibration perception threshold (VPT), neurological symptom score (NSS), neurological disability score (NDS), and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain at baseline and at each visit (1, 3 and 6 months) after the start of treatment. Results: Comparison between the study groups regarding the baseline data revealed no statistically significant differences. with respect to the outcome parameters, no significant differences were found between the studied groups at baseline. However, in subsequent visits, ALA-treated patients had significantly better results regarding almost all the outcome parameters (NSS, NDS, VAS, VPT). Mild nausea was reported in 6 patients. None of the studied patients discontinued treatment. Conclusions: Oral 600mg ALA twice-daily treatment for DPN over 6 months is effective, safe and tolerable.
