Unique in its two-fold protective function, alpha-lipoic acid has drawn unprecedented interest for its role as a coenzyme in mitochondrial energy metabolism and as an antioxidant and cell redox modulator. This book covers discoveries in the chemistry, biological action, and significance of alpha-lipoic acid in energy production and health. Section I reviews the molecular structure, biosynthesis, and characterization of lipoic acid. Section II describes metabolic aspects, human pharmacodynamics, energy production, and antioxidant activity. Section III discusses clinical aspects, treatment of me...
