The metabolic syndrome is associated with abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism, insulin resistance, increased oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory activity that increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of treatment with the antioxidant alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) with or without vitamin E supplementation, on markers of insulin resistance and systemic inflammation and plasma nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations in individuals with the metabolic syndrome. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, subjects with the metabolic syndrome received ALA (600 mg/day, n = 34), vitamin E (100 IU/day, n = 36), both ALA and vitamin E (n = 41), or matching placebo (n = 40) for 1 year. Fasting circulating concentrations of glucose and insulin were measure every 3 months and NEFA, markers of inflammation, adiponectin and vitamin E were measured at 6 monthly intervals. Plasma NEFA concentrations decreased [-10 (-18, 0)%] at a marginal level of significance (p = 0.05) in those who received ALA alone compared with placebo and decreased [-8 (-14, -1)% (95% CI)] significantly (P = 0.02) in participants who were randomised to ALA with and without vitamin E compared with those who did not receive ALA. Fasting glucose, insulin, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, adiponectin, and markers of inflammation did not change significantly during the study. These data suggest that prolonged treatment with ALA may modestly reduce plasma NEFA concentrations but does not alter insulin or glucose levels in individuals with the metabolic syndrome.
