Inhibition of Aldose Reductase by Gentiana lutea Extracts
Accumulation of intracellular sorbitol due to increased aldose reductase (ALR2) activity has been implicated in the development of various secondary complications of diabetes. Thus, ALR2 inhibition could be an effective strategy in the prevention or delay of certain diabetic complications. Gentiana lutea grows naturally in the central and southern areas of Europe. Its roots are commonly consume...
متن کاملPrevention of posterior capsular opacification through aldose reductase inhibition.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of aldose reductase (AR) inhibition on posterior capsular opacification (PCO) with the use of a pig eye capsular bag model. METHODS Pig eye capsular bags were prepared by capsulorhexis and cultured in medium without or with AR inhibitors for 7 days. Immunostaining was performed in paraformaldehyde-fixed capsular bags to determine th...
متن کاملInhibition of aldose reductase prevents colon cancer metastasis.
Colon cancer is the third most common cause of cancer and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the USA. Although inhibition of aldose reductase (AR) is known to prevent human colon cancer cell growth in nude mice xenografts, the role of AR in the regulation of cancer metastasis is not known. We now demonstrate the mechanisms by which AR regulates colon cancer metastasis in vitro and ...
متن کاملAldose Reductase Inhibition Prevents Metaplasia of Airway Epithelial Cells
BACKGROUND Goblet cell metaplasia that causes mucus hypersecretion and obstruction in the airway lumen could be life threatening in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. Inflammatory cytokines such as IL-13 mediate the transformation of airway ciliary epithelial cells to mucin-secreting goblet cells in acute as well as chronic airway inflammatory diseases. However, no effec...
متن کاملInhibition of aldose reductase and sorbitol accumulation by dietary rutin
Accumulation of intracellular sorbitol due to increased aldose reductase (ALR2 or AKR1B1) activity has been implicated in the development of various secondary complications of diabetes. Previously we have reported that some common dietary sources such as spices, fruits and vegetables have the potential to inhibit ALR2 under in vitro conditions and in animal models. In this study, we describe th...
