Abstract
Hers (1960) has shown that fructose in the seminal vesicles is formed from glucose via sorbitol. Van Heyningen (1959), Kuck (1961) and Kinoshita et al. (1963) have reported evidence that the same pathway is present in the lens. The finding of relatively high levels of free fructose in mammalian nerve (Stewart and Passonneau, 1964) raised the question whether the “sorbitol pathway” also operates in nerve. In this paper we report the identification and measurement of sorbitol in mammalian nerve.
