Abstract
Endogenous saturated and unsaturated aldehydes were found in significa nt elevations in serum of diabetic humans and rats. These compounds, o riginating from the lipid peroxidation processes, are shown here to be potent inhibitors of the glycolytic enzymes, phosphofructokinase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The inhibition process is no n-competitive and progressive. The aldehyde mixture, when supplemented to the standard rat diet at 1/100 ratio, caused nerve damage that is reminiscent of diabetic polyneuropathies.
