sorbitol and Galactosemias

sorbitol has been researched along with Galactosemias in 25 studies

D-glucitol : The D-enantiomer of glucitol (also known as D-sorbitol).

Galactosemias: A group of inherited enzyme deficiencies which feature elevations of GALACTOSE in the blood. This condition may be associated with deficiencies of GALACTOKINASE; UDPGLUCOSE-HEXOSE-1-PHOSPHATE URIDYLYLTRANSFERASE; or UDPGLUCOSE 4-EPIMERASE. The classic form is caused by UDPglucose-Hexose-1-Phosphate Uridylyltransferase deficiency, and presents in infancy with FAILURE TO THRIVE; VOMITING; and INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION. Affected individuals also may develop MENTAL RETARDATION; JAUNDICE; hepatosplenomegaly; ovarian failure (PRIMARY OVARIAN INSUFFICIENCY); and cataracts. (From Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, pp61-3)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"MRI measurement of the retinal oxygenation response to a carbogen challenge appears to be a powerful new and noninvasive approach that may be useful for assessing aspects of pathophysiology underlying the development of diabetic retinopathy in galactosemic rats."3.70Subnormal retinal oxygenation response precedes diabetic-like retinopathy. ( Berkowitz, BA; Frank, RN; Hohman, TC; Kern, TS; Kowluru, RA; Prakash, M, 1999)
"Aldose reductase catalyzes the NADPH-linked reduction of hexoses to their respective sugar-alcohols, which are involved in the pathogenesis of "sugar-cataracts"."3.68Effects of G-6-PD deficiency, experimentally induced or genetically transmitted, on the sorbitol pathway activity. In vitro and in vivo studies. ( Alvarez, A; Chávez, M; Chávez-Anaya, E; Medina, C; Medina, MD; Mendoza, R; Ramírez, MG; Sáenz, G; Vaca, G; Vargas, M, 1992)
"An orally active inhibitor of aldose reductase, 1,3-dioxo-1H-benz[de]-isoquinoline-2(3H)acetic acid (AY-22,284), prevented cataractous changes in cultured lenses exposed to high concentrations of galactose."3.65Polyol accumulation in galactosemic and diabetic rats: control by an aldose reductase inhibitor. ( Dvornik, E; Gabbay, KH; Kinoshita, JH; Krami, M; Merola, LO; Sestanj, K; Simard-Duquesne, N; Varma, SD, 1973)
"Diabetic retinopathy is similarly related to sorbitol accumulation and may be prevented or reversed by inhibition of aldose reductase."2.37NIH conference. Aldose reductase and complications of diabetes. ( Cobo, LM; Cogan, DG; Datilis, MB; Kador, PF; Kinoshita, JH; Kupfer, C; Robison, G, 1984)
"At 8 months galactosemia reduced NCV to 58% of control values, while ARI-treatment for 8 months improved NCV to 71% of control values."1.29Galactosemia produces ARI-preventable nodal changes similar to those of diabetic neuropathy. ( Basso, M; Cherian, PV; Hohman, TC; Kamijo, M; Sima, AA, 1994)
"Galactitol is a component of normal amniotic fluid with a mean concentration of 0."1.27Stable isotope dilution analysis of galactitol in amniotic fluid: an accurate approach to the prenatal diagnosis of galactosemia. ( Jakobs, C; Nyhan, WL; Sweetman, L; Warner, TG, 1984)
"Both diabetic hyperglycemia and galactosemia caused the prolongation of peak latencies and in some cases a reduction in the amplitudes of oscillatory potentials on the b-wave."1.27The development of electroretinogram abnormalities and the possible role of polyol pathway activity in diabetic hyperglycemia and galactosemia. ( Fujimori, S; Hirata, Y; Okada, K; Segawa, M, 1988)
