Abstract excerpt
Sorbitol dehydrogenase (Sord) catalyzes the interconversion of sorbitol and fructose and is functionally important both in the metabolism of dietary sorbitol and as a source of fructose in semen. Together with aldose reductase, Sord forms the polyol pathway, which plays an important role in the etiology of diabetic complications. The Sord-deficient mouse (C57BL/ LiA) is very useful in animal model studies of the...
