Oxidative Stress Intensity in Lens and Aqueous Depending on Age-Related Cataract Type and Brunescense

Abstract

The role of the oxidative stress in cataractogenesis could not be the same for all cataract types. High level of lipid peroxides in pigmented cataracts may point to the different nature of pigment source than proteins solely, whereas lipid peroxidation and SH groups consumption in cortical cataractogenesis might be of less importance.
