<Pathway xmlns="http://pathvisio.org/GPML/2013a" Name="Polyol pathway" Data-Source="WikiPathways" Version="WP1265_r142080" Author="[MaintBot, Ddigles, Egonw]" Last-Modified="20251201072947" Organism="Mus musculus">
  <Comment Source="WikiPathways-description">When glucose is unused, it is metabolized via the polyol pathway. This pathway consists of two main enzymatic steps. First, glucose is reduced to sorbitol by aldose reductase. In this step, NADPH is oxidized to NADP+. The next step is the oxidation of sorbitol to D-fructose by sorbitol dehydrogenase.
Fructose can then be phosphorylated by fructokinase and subsequently be metabolized via dihydroxyacetone phosphate or glyceraldehyde to D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, which can be used as a substrate in the process of glycolysis.
The sorbitol pathway plays a role in diabetic renal complications because aldose reductase metabolizes the excess of glucose to toxic metabolites that induce hyperfiltration and glomerular dysfunction.</Comment>
