Blood and lens lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status in normal individuals, senile and diabetic cataractous patients

Abstract

A strong correlation was found between lens GSH and lens TBARS concentrations in the diabetic group. This emphasized the vital role of GSH as an antioxidant in the lens over the other antioxidant parameters, e.g., enzymes, and the oxidative stress is at the highest level in lens.
