Alpha-Lipoic Acid Protects against Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection by Improving Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Function

Researchers found that Alpha-Lipoic Acid treatment significantly improved the aortic aneurysm and dissection and abdominal aortic aneurysm development, which was demonstrated by ameliorated aneurysmal dilation, decreased aortic dissection and aneurysm incidence, improved aortic morphology and inhibited elastin degradation.
