Feeding galactose to rats induces nerve conduction abnormalities, increased levels of nerve galactitol, endoneurial edema, elevated pressure and hypoxia of endoneurial fluid, and pathological abnormalities of nerve fibers. To investigate the cellular mechanisms of the fiber lesions and their
Endoneurial edema occurs in numerous human and experimental neuropathies. We tested the hypothesis that the resultant increase in intercapillary distance (ICD) may result in endoneurial hypoxia. Experimental galactose neuropathy (EGN) was chosen since in this model, edema is due to the accumulation
OBJECTIVE
To study the effects of an aldose reductase inhibitor (ARI-509, Wyeth-Ayerst, Princeton, NJ) and aminoguanidine (AMG), agents that have been reported to prevent or delay diabetic retinopathy, on retinal vascular abnormalities and the immunocytochemical expression in the retina of vascular
