Diabetic cataractogenesis, a multifactorial process, was examined with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). P-31 NMR spectroscopic studies showed substantial alteration of both energy and membrane metabolism in the diabetic lens. Findings from a C-13 NMR spectroscopic determination of the sorbitol pathway flux in lenses incubated in 35.5 mmol/L glucose revealed that (1) one-third of total glucose consumed was channeled through this pathway, and (2) the turnover rate of NADPH to NADP was 3,000%/hr. Furthermore, a competition for NADPH between aldose reductase and glutathione reductase was demonstrated. It is important to note that all metabolic changes in hyperglycemic/diabetic lenses can be prevented by aldose reductase inhibitors, eg, sorbinil.
