TL;DRAbstract

It has been more than 20 yr since the first aldose reductase inhibitor was tested in diabetic and galactosemic rats and found to control polyol accumulation (1). Since then, a considerable number of aldose reductase inhibitors have been tested in experimental and human diabetes and have considerably increased our knowledge in this field (Table 1). A thorough review of work on experimental diabetes would be outside the scope of this volume; however, the interested reader can find more information in recently published extensive reviews. The following chapter will focus on the results from clinical trials in diabetic neuropathy (2,3).
