Alpha Lipoic Acid: In the pathogenesis of inflammation, factor NF-kB modulates inflammatory cytokines, including interleukins (ILs) such as IL-1β and IL-6. ALA expresses its anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting I Kappa B kinase, a converging enzyme for the activation of NF-kB, thus suppressing the activation of other inflammatory cytokines [1,2]
