Lipoic acid alleviates schistosomiasis-induced liver fibrosis by upregulating Drp1 phosphorylation.

This study provides a new insight into the mechanism of the protective effect of LA against schistosomiasis-induced liver fibrosis, which demonstrates that LA is required for the maintenance of mitochondrial function by upregulating p-Drp1 expression to inhibit mitochondrial fission.
