Sodium formate-induced mitochondrial impairment and cytotoxicity in neuronal cells reveal crucial pathogenic mechanisms underlying diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy

Abstract Formic acid, a toxic one-carbon metabolite formed from methanol and formaldehyde in the body, can cause neuronal dysfunctions. It was recently hypothesized that metabolic formation of toxic one-carbon metabolites (particularly formic acid) under hyperglycemic conditions may contribute to th...
