Study Summary

Benfotiamine blocks three major pathways of hyperglycemic damage and prevents experimental diabetic retinopathy and incipient nephropathy in these models. In cultured vascular cells, it also reduces aldose reductase gene expression, activity, and sorbitol levels. It does so by activating the enzyme transketolase. α-lipoic acid, a potent antioxidant, has also been reported to reduce both diabetic microvascular and macrovascular complications in animal models. To determine whether benfotiamine in combination with α-lipoic acid would normalize markers of ROS-induced pathways of complications in humans, we performed a pilot study in subjects with Type 1 diabetes using one daily dose of benfotiamine in combination with α-lipoic acid.
