Are anti-inflammatory properties of lipoic acid associated with the formation of hydrogen sulfide?
Journal Title: Pharmacological Reports - Year 2013, Vol 65, Issue 4
Abstract
Lipoic acid (LA) was shown to possess anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we present evidence supporting the hypothesis that the anti-inflammatory properties of LA are associated with the formation of hydrogen sulfide (H2S).
