Age-associated impairment of Akt phosphorylation in primary rat hepatocytes is remediated by alpha-lipoic acid through PI3 kinase, PTEN, and PP2AKate Petersen Shay
Linus Pauling Institute, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331 6512, USA
Biogerontology 10:443-56. 2009..Furthermore, two phosphatases that antagonize Akt, PTEN and PP2A, were both partially inhibited by LA. Thus, LA may be a nutritive agent that can remediate loss of function in the Akt pathway and aid in the survival of liver cells...
(R)-α-Lipoic acid treatment restores ceramide balance in aging rat cardiac mitochondriaJeffrey S Monette
Linus Pauling Institute, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA
Pharmacol Res 63:23-9. 2011..In summary, LA treatment lowers ceramide levels to that seen in young rat heart mitochondria and restores Complex IV activity which otherwise declines with age...
Transcription factor Nrf2: examination of nuclear protein levels by immunoblotting and promoter response element binding by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)Kate Petersen Shay
Linus Pauling Institute, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, USA
Curr Protoc Toxicol . 2010..The simplest way to do this is to employ a chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay along with an examination of cellular Nrf2 levels by immunoblotting...
Cap-independent Nrf2 translation is part of a lipoic acid-stimulated detoxification stress responseKate Petersen Shay
Linus Pauling Institute, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA
Biochim Biophys Acta 1823:1102-9. 2012..Thus, translational control of Nrf2 synthesis, rather than reliance solely on pre-existing protein, may mediate the rapid burst of Nrf2 nuclear accumulation following stress stimuli...
Alpha-lipoic acid as a dietary supplement: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic potentialKate Petersen Shay
Linus Pauling Institute, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331 6512, USA
Biochim Biophys Acta 1790:1149-60. 2009..Current trials are investigating whether these beneficial properties of LA make it an appropriate treatment not just for diabetes, but also for the prevention of vascular disease, hypertension, and inflammation...
