Aldose and Aldehyde Reductase Exhibit Isocorticosteroid Reductase Activity [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1983 In this paper we describe the reduction of corticosteroid metabolites containing the 17 beta-aldol side chain (isocorticosteroids) by aldose and aldehyde reductase from human tissues. Aldose reductase catalyzed the reduction of the aldehydes derived from cortisol and corticosterone at about the same rate, whereas aldehyde reductase preferentially acted

Natural aldose reductase inhibitors for treatment and prevention of diabetic cataract: A review
Herba Polonica, 2022 Introduction: Aldose reductase (AR) is an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of glucose to sorbitol responsible for the development of diabetic complications like cataracts. Medicinal plants contain several phytocompounds that can inhibit this enzyme.
