Polyol Pathway

"Vía de los Polioles" translates to "Polyol Pathway" in English. 

This is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose into sorbitol and then into fructose. 

It's especially relevant in biomedicine and is associated with conditions like diabetes. 

When blood glucose levels are high, the polyol pathway can become more active, leading to the accumulation of sorbitol, which has been implicated in complications such as diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy, and nephropathy due to its osmotic effects on cells.
