Figure 10 Ellagic acid inhibits the accumulati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> sorbitol in<br />
rerythrocytes<br />
Blood was collected into a heparinized tube from the abdominal aorta <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the rats.<br />
Erythrocytes were obtained by centrifugati<strong>on</strong> at 2000 xg and washed with cold<br />
saline twice. 1 ml <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> erythrocytes was added into 3 ml <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Kreb’s-Ringer<br />
bicarb<strong>on</strong>ate buffer, c<strong>on</strong>taining 30 mM glucose and each compound dissolved in<br />
30 μL <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and was incubated at 37 ℃ in 5 % CO2 in<br />
air for 3 h. At the end <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> incubati<strong>on</strong> periods, red blood cells were separated by<br />
centrifugati<strong>on</strong>, washed, and precipitated with cold 6 % perchloric acid. <strong>The</strong><br />
supernatant was neutralized with a same volume <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 0.5 M Na3PO4 (pH 11).<br />
<strong>The</strong> sorbitol c<strong>on</strong>tents were measured enzymatically by the sorbitol<br />
dehydrogenase reacti<strong>on</strong>. <strong>The</strong> amount <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> sorbitol is proporti<strong>on</strong>al to the formati<strong>on</strong><br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> NADPH as measured by the increase in fluorescence under the excitati<strong>on</strong> and<br />
emissi<strong>on</strong> at 355 and 460 nm, respectively.
