Abstract Both hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia increase oxidative stress and contribute
to the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). We investigated the effects of
a-lipoic acid, a natural antioxidant and a cofactor in the multienzyme
complexes, on the development of DN in diabetic apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.
