our results indicate that there is an increase in labeling densities of collagen type iv and laminin in thickened basement membranes of retinal capillaries of galactosemic rats along with the expression of interstitial collagens like collagen type iii and an abnormal collagen that weakly cross-reacts with antibody to collagen type i , and these effects of galactosemia on the basement membranes are preventable by an aldose reductase inhibitor .
