Abstract

3-Deoxyglucosone reductase activity in the extracts of rat, pig and human livers was potently inhibited by aldehyde reductase inhibitors. The major species of 3-deoxyglucosone reductase purified from human and pig livers were biochemically and immunochemically identical with aldehyde reductase. The two enzymes and rat liver aldehyde reductase exhibited higher catalytic efficiency for 3-deoxyglucosone than for D-glucuronate, a representative substrate of aldehyde reductase.
