What does the Intracellular Alpha-Lipoic Acid Function test measure?

Intracellular Alpha-Lipoic Acid Function (ALA) is a clinical biomarker used in vitamins-minerals assessment. Alpha-lipoic acid is a cofactor for mitochondrial dehydrogenase complexes and a potent antioxidant that recycles other antioxidants (vitamins C and E, glutathione). It is measured in 1 laboratory test on BiomarkersLabs.com.

What is Intracellular Alpha-Lipoic Acid Function?

Alpha-lipoic acid is a cofactor for mitochondrial dehydrogenase complexes and a potent antioxidant that recycles other antioxidants (vitamins C and E, glutathione). Cellular assays measure functional capacity when alpha-lipoic acid is rate-limiting.

Why is Intracellular Alpha-Lipoic Acid Function measured?

Alpha-lipoic acid is used therapeutically in diabetic neuropathy and oxidative stress disorders. Functional testing is exploratory, used in mitochondrial support protocols and refractory neuropathy, though deficiency states are not well defined.
