Polyol pathway in aorta: regulation by hormones

Polyol pathway in aorta: regulation by hormones

R S Clements Jr et al. Science. .

Abstract

Aldose reductase is present in human and rabbit aortas and provides a mechanism whereby hyper-glycemia can alter the metabolism of the arterial wall. Aortic sorbitol concentration is regulated by ambient glucose concentration and is increased by epinephrine, isoproterenol, dibutyryl-3',5'-adenosine monophosphate, ouabain, and angiotensin II.
