Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Various animal species have been used to study oxidative stress-induced cataractogenesis; however, given that differences in the expression of the lens antioxidant system may influence species susceptibility to oxidative stress, we compared and contrasted a broad spectrum of components of the lens antioxidant system in dog, rat, marmoset, and rabbit. METHODS: Lenses collected from beagle dogs,...
