Enhanced Diabetes-Induced Cataract in Copper-Zinc Superoxide Dismutase–Null Mice
26 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Oxidative stress is thought to contribute to diabetes-induced cataract, and the authors have previously demonstrated that lenses from mice lacking the antioxidant enzyme copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) show elevated levels of superoxide radicals and are more prone in vitro to develop glucose-induced cataract than are wild-type lenses. In the present study the effect of streptozotocin-induced...
