摘要
Diabetic neuropathy is a major complication of poorly controlled diabetes mellitus. Aldose reductase, the first enzyme of the polyol pathway, is thought to play a role in initiating the metabolic damage to peripheral nerves during hyperglycemia. Aldose reductase, inhibitors (ARIs) have been proposed to dampen the flux of glucose through the pathway during hyperglycemia; however, clinical trials in diabetic patients to demonstarate efficacy in the prevention or amelioration of diabetic neuropathy have failed thus far. Recent improved understanding of the pitfalls of past trials and some improved ARIs and clinical evaluation instruments show promise that success in the 20-plus year search for efficacious ARIs may soon be at hand.
