“Supplementation of carnitine and lipoic acid during aging process decreased the incidence of these DNA damage, therefore suggesting that this feeding regimen inhibits the accumulation of age-associated oxidative DNA damage.”
“Thus, lipoic acid acts with carnitine to improve mitochondrial-supported bioenergetics and also improves general antioxidant status, thereby effectively attenuating any putative increase in oxidative stress with age.”

“We concluded that co-administration of carnitine and lipoic acid to aged rats has the potential to prevent oxidative stress mediated macromolecular damage in skeletal muscle of aged rats by their putative role as efficient antioxidants.”
“Co-supplementation of carnitine and lipoic acid was found to be effective in reducing brain regional LPO, PCO and DNA protein cross-links and in increasing the activities of enzymatic antioxidants in aged rats to near normalcy.”

“From our results, we conclude that combined supplementation of carnitine and lipoic acids to aged rats increases the skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiration, thereby increasing the level of ATP. (”
