13PRACTICE PROBLEM
The autosomal recessive inheritance of galactosemia results in a lack of an enzyme necessary for adequate galactose degradation. Galactose accumulation becomes the substrate for enzymes that catalyze the polyol pathway of carbohydrate metabolism in galactosemic patients. What is the possible reaction that the accumulated galactose undergoes?
