Effects of alpha lipoic acid on iron overload, lipid profile and oxidative stress indices in β‐thalassemia major patients: A cross‐over randomised controlled clinical trial

β‐Thalassemia major (β‐TM) is associated with iron overload, abnormal lipid levels and oxidative stress. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) showed anti‐oxidant and iron chelating properties, but its effect in β‐TM patients is unclear. We investigated the effects of ALA on iron levels, lipid profile and oxidative stress.
