Galactitol is a reduced form of galactose (Item No. 20890) that has been found in various plants, including C. aculeatus.{43179} It is a toxic metabolite of galactose in humans that accumulates in the lens of patients with galactokinase deficiency-induced galactosemia, leading to cataract formation.{43180} Galactitol also accumulates in a transgenic mouse model of galactokinase deficiency, however, it does not lead to the formation of cataracts even with administration of a high-galactose diet.{43181}
