It is important to underline that although ALA has been investigated in cytokine-induced inflammation for its antioxidant characteristics (enhanced oxidative stress is essential for persistent inflammation), its inhibitory effects on TNF--induced endothelial activation are thought to be due to its metal chelating activity rather than a general antioxidant effect
However, in chronic tendinopathy, its efficacy may be compromised due to persistent inflammation, tissue degeneration, fibrosis, and abnormal ECM composition, which can impede IGF-1 diffusion and diminish the responsiveness of tendon cells (Tang et al., 2024)
