title: The effect of aldose reductase inhibitor, statil, on hyperpermeability of iridial vessels in experimental galactosemic rats.
abstract: Thirty young male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups: the control group, given a normal diet; the galactose group, given a 25% galactose diet; and the aldose reductase-galactose group, given a 25% galactose diet containing 0.046% Statil, an aldose reductase inhibitor. The results suggested that Statil could prevent hyperpermeability of iridial vessels in galactose-fed rats.
