Cover Story: Depression is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by altered emotion and cognition. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a potent natural antioxidant and exhibits neuroprotective effects. Chronic unpredictable mild stress induced depression-like behaviour in rats. Continuous administration of ALA for 42 days significantly improved behavioural function, increased antioxidant strength, reduced lipid peroxidation, restored monoamines, improved cognition and protected CA3 neurons. Furthermore, docking studies have revealed the strong binding of ALA to the 5HT3 receptor. This study demonstrates that ALA might exhibit antidepressant effects, in part, by restoring monoamines (5-HT, NE, DA) and modulating the 5HT3 receptor. View this paper
