In recent years, the medicinal properties of lipoic acid (vitamin N) have attracted more and more attention of domestic and foreign clinicians. It stimulates phosphorylation of glucose, glucolysis, gluconeogenesis and promotes the conversion of lactic acid into pyruvic acid [10, 15]. The introduction of lipoic acid into a vein in rabbits increases the content of glycogen in the liver [15].
