Screening of Korean forest plants for rat lens aldose reductase inhibition
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry
|March 3, 1999
Abstract:
Naturally occurring substances which can prevent and treat diabetic complications were sought by examining ethanol extracts prepared from Korean forest plants for their inhibitory effects on rat lens aldose reductase activity in vitro. Among the plants examined, Acer ginnala, Illicium religiosum and Cornus macrophylla exerted the most strong inhibitory activity on aldose reductase.
