The insulin gene transcription factor PDX-1/IPF1/STF-1/ IDX-1 plays a key role in directing beta cell-specific gene expressions. Recently, impairment of PDX-1 expression or activity has been observed...
Glycation and inactivation of sorbitol dehydrogenase in normal and diabetic rats.
Hoshi, A, Takahashi, M, Fujii, J, Myint, T, Kaneto, H, Suzuki, K, ...
Sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) is involved in the polyol pathway, which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. We have measured the tissue distributions of SDH mRNA,...
