-[[Aldose Reductase]] (AldR) is an NADPH-dependent enzyme which reduces aldehydes and carbonyls.  It reduces glucose to sorbitol in the glucose metabolism pathway.  The AldR is implicated in diabetics and causing Iodine Deficiency Disorder (IDD) and its treatment involves the use of IDD inhibitors of AldR.
