... C or 5-fluorouracil. Toxicity to other ocular cell types and the risk of ocular hypotony limits the use of these agents. We have found that d -α-tocopherol (vitamin E) was able to inhibit proliferation of in vitro human Tenon’s capsule fibroblasts obtained from seven different donors. At 48 h...

...S.D. Varma; P.S. Devamanoharan; Sami Mansour; Beverly Teter Emory mouse cataracts were analyzed for amino acids, protein carbonyls and fatty acids. The tissue membrane integrity was assessed by studying chromium-51 efflux. An effect of vitamin E-free diet on cataract progression was also studied...

...Denise Satterfield; David Taube; Cristina Kenney Vitamin E ( DL -α-tocopherol acetate) can inhibit collagen production in rabbit corneal keratocytes in vitro when incubated in the absence of serum. Cell growth is not appreciably affected but fibronectin synthesis is increased after exposure...

... dehydrogenase was significantly diminished in diabetic patients. Controls and cataractous patients showed similar levels of malondialdehyde (MDA). Although not significant, the MDA content in RBC from diabetics was elevated. No differences in plasma levels of vitamin E were noted among the three groups...

...Geeta Pararajasegaram; Alex Sevanian; Narsing A. Rao The anti-inflammatory effects of vitamin E were investigated using the S antigen model of uveoretinitis. Thirty-six 3-week-old Lewis rats were separated into three groups and maintained on a specially formulated diet. One group of animals...

...İclal Yücel; Nadir Paksoy; Gültekin Yücel; Güler Aksu; Aslan Aksu In order to assess the role of vitamin E, an antioxidant, in the treatment of uveitis, a controlled experimental study was carried out on 20 New Zealand albino rabbits with bovine-albumin-induced uveitis. In all vitamin-E-treated...

...Scott Eccarius; John I. Clark Vitamin E ( d -alpha-tocopherol) and aspirin were evaluated for their effects on the phase separation temperature, T c , of calf lens cytoplasm. Vitamin E and aspirin were added to nuclear homogenate and the change in T c was measured. Aspirin had no measurable effect...

...Marcelo N. Ayala; Per G. Söderberg Purpose: To investigate if vitamin E protects against ultraviolet B radiation (UVB)-induced cataract. Methods: Albino Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into two groups: one group was fed vitamin E, while the other group was used as a control. Both groups were...

... in feeding period, while the increase in lens galactitol content was decelerated. An increase in lens water content and a decrease in lens protein content occurred at 6 and 8 months of galactose feeding. The lens vitamin E content increased at 6 months of galactose feeding and this increase was concomitant...
