The relevance to diabetic complications is also stressed. The role of AKRs to metabolize exogenous toxicants including tobacco carcinogens (tobacco specific nitrosamine ketones and trans-dihydrodiols derived from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), mycotoxins (aflatoxin dialdehydes), and unnatural aldehydes is covered in detail. In the case of PAH trans-dihydrodiols, a clear example is given that AKRs may not always be chemoprotective; in this instance, reactive and redox-active
quinones are formed. What emerges is that AKRs play a central role in toxicant metabolism.
Aldo-Keto Reductases and Toxicant Metabolism shows how evolutionary AKRs are conserved in prokaryotes through eukaroytes and can thus be considered primordial genes. They are also regulated by primordial stress signals (osmotic stress, reactive oxygen species, and electrophiles) to respond to toxic insult. The role of AKRs to respond to stress in vivo is given in a model of myocardial ischemia and re-perfusion injury. The power of functional yeast genomics is described to generate AKR
null yeast strains and a resultant phenotype.
