1 Aldose reductase (AKR1B1), which catalyzes the reduction of glucose to sorbitol and lipid aldehydes to lipid alcohols, has been shown to be involved in secondary diabetic complications including cataractogenesis. Sorbitol aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B1 Rattus norvegicus
2 Aldose reductase (AKR1B1), which catalyzes the reduction of glucose to sorbitol and lipid aldehydes to lipid alcohols, has been shown to be involved in secondary diabetic complications including cataractogenesis. Sorbitol aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B1 Rattus norvegicus
3 Biochemical analysis of lens homogenates showed that the AKR1B1 activity and sorbitol levels were significantly lower in sugar-treated AKR1B1 knockdown rat lenses as compared to WT rat lenses treated with 50mM glucose. Sorbitol aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B1 Rattus norvegicus
