Figure 3. The amount of galactitol accumulating in the corneas of rats fed normal chow or 50% galactose in the presence or absence of aldose reductase inhibitor was measured. Compared to the control group, the amount of galactitol in the 50% Gal group increased approximately 200-fold, which was reduced to seven-fold by treatment with aldose reductase inhibitor. The values are mean±standard error of the mean; *p<0.05.
