Regulation of aldose reductase gene expression in renal cortex and medulla of rats.

Abstract excerpt

A role for aldose reductase-mediated production of polyol in the aetiology of diabetic nephropathy has been supported by both animal and clinical studies. In the renal medulla, the rate of polyol production is influenced in part by regulated changes in the level of aldose reductase gene expression. However, little is known about the expression of aldose reductase in the renal cortex. In this study, we evaluated...
