α-Lipoic acid prevents senescence, cell cycle arrest, and inflammatory cues in fibroblasts by inhibiting oxidative stress

DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2019.01.003

Summary:  In this study, anti-aging potential of α-lipoic acid (α-LA), in rat embryonic fibroblast (REF) cells was assessed. The results of this study show that α-LA has beneficial effects on H2O2-induced cellular senescence. α-LA works by attenuating the reactive oxygen species, subsiding inflammation, and affecting cell division.
