Neuroprotective effects of α-lipoic acid on the development of oxidative stress and astrogliosis in the brain of STZ-diabetic rats
The aim of this study was to examine whether the antioxidant alpha-lipoic acid protects neurons from diabetic-reperfusion injury. The streptozotocin (STZ) rat model was used to study the glial reactivity and prevention of gliosis by alpha-lipoic acid (alpha-LA) administration. The expression of glia...
