W Sun, C Gerhardinger, Z Dagher, T Hoehn, M Lorenzi - Diabetes, 2005 - Am Diabetes Assoc The prevention of diabetic retinopathy requires drugs that leverage the benefits of glycemic control
without adding the burden of side effects. Aspirin at dosages of 1–1.5 g/day has prevented manifestations
of diabetic retinal microangiopathy in a clinical trial as well as in studies with dogs. ... Cited by 24 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 6 versions
M Lorenzi - Exp Diabetes Res, 2007 - hindawi.com The polyol pathway is a two-step metabolic pathway in which glucose is reduced to sorbitol,
which is then converted to fructose. It is one of the most attractive candidate mechanisms to
explain, at least in part, the cellular toxicity of diabetic hyperglycemia because (i) it ... Cited by 9 - Related articles - View as HTML - All 15 versions
