Nitrated HGF ( bar 3 , peroxynitrite-treated at 1:2000) lost its activation activity as demonstrated by a drop in the activation index down to the baseline level observed in the negative-control culture ( bar 1 ) 32 and in GSSSG/LASSS-cultures ( bars 6 and 10 , missing HGF)
But only the R-isomer (R-ALA) is naturally produced in the body and actively participates in mitochondrial energy metabolism.12 Some studies suggest that R-ALA may be more bioavailable than standard racemic ALA though the clinical significance of this difference is still under investigation.17 In addition, anecdotal reports and small studies indicate that R-ALA may be easier on digestion, with fewer gastrointestinal side effects than standard racemic ALA, especially at higher doses.18 However, R-ALA is chemically unstable on its own
