... with depressed aqueous ascorbate levels. Other work indicated that aqueous and lens levels of ascorbate are closely linked and that depressed ascorbate status is related to cataract. Taken together, these papers suggested that acetone exposure, depressed ascorbate levels, and cataract are related, possibly...

...Robert T. Swindell; Holley Harris; Laura Buchanan; Carol Bell; Barbara Albers-Jackson Gangliosides were isolated from human cataractous nuclei by solvent extraction, dialysis, and thin-layer chromatography and compared to gangliosides present in human whole normal and cataractous lenses. Three...

...Shambhu D. Varma; Richard D. Richards Exposure of mice to hyperbaric oxygen leads to an inhibition of the mitotic activity in the germinative epithelium of the lens. This is followed by an eventual development of cataracts. Cataracts have also been observed in human beings treated with hyperbaric...

...Sidney Lerman; Michael Moran; Neal Matthews Intracapsular cataracts obtained within 3 h after surgical extraction were photographed with the CCRG technique and immediately subjected to fluorescence spectroscopy followed by 31 P- and 13 C-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Fluorescence...

...Güneş Yüregir; İlter Varinli; Orkide Donma Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity was measured in both red blood cells and lenses of persons with cataracts living in Çukurova, the southern part of Turkey, where G6PD deficiency is well documented. The incidence of red blood cell G6PD...

...Sanford H. Stone; Robert B. Nussenblatt; Frances L. Cross; Cedric S. Raine Juvenile guinea pigs developed cataracts during severe acute allergic (autoimmune) encephalomyelitis produced actively by injection of central nervous system antigens in complete Freund’s adjuvants. Cataracts were induced...

...S. Lerman; K. Gardner; J. Megaw; R. Borkman Exposure to ambient ultraviolet (UV) radiation (longer than 300 nm) over a lifetime appears to play a role in lens aging and nuclear cataract formation. The photochemical generation of fluorescent chromophores has been correlated with the increasing...

.... Accumulation of soluble crystalline was depressed, especially γ-crystallin. High levels of insoluble protein were found in lenses of UV-irradiated mice. High molecular weight aggregates increased in this insoluble phase. From 60 weeks on, cortical opacities were seen. Thus, cataracts have now been shown...
