| Ergothioneine content in normal and senile human cataractous lenses. |
| While glutathione levels decrease gradually in normal lenses with advancing age, cataractous lenses contain only about one-tenth as much glutathione. |
| For example, Swanson and Truesdale reported low levels of Se in cataractous human lens tissues. |
| We evaluated the levels of enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants in blood and aqueous humour of cataractous poodles in comparison to noncataractous poodles. |
| Identification and quantification of leucine aminopeptidase in aged normal and cataractous human lenses and ability of bovine lens LAP to cleave bovine crystallins. |
| Methods: We studied 35 cataractous poodles aged 2 to 11 years, 14 noncataractous poodles and 15 noncataractous mixed-breed dogs. |
