Use of α-Lipoic Acid and Benfotiamine for Correction of Disturbance of Gastric Motor-Evacuation Function in Type 1 Diabetic Patients

Abstract

The therapeutic effectiveness of α-lipoic acid and benfotiamine in treating symptoms of gastroparesis in type 1 diabetic patients was evaluated. Pathogenetic correlations between increased concentration of peripheral myelin protein and a decrease in the gastric motor-evacuation function were determined. The results of a three-month course of pathogenetic therapy demonstrate the effectiveness of combination therapy which is not associated with an improved compensation of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. It is a result of the direct effect of preparations on the investigated metabolic processes and restoration of myelination of the nerve fibers.
