The role of the free radical oxidation processesin the development of experimental diabetic cataract
One of the main models of diabetes in the experiment is alloxan model. Cataractogenic effect of al- loxan as a drug which causes diabetes and diabetic cataract is associated with its free-radical effect on the proteins of the lens. Detection of involvement of free radical oxidation in the occurrence of diabe- tes and diabetic cataract was the basis for the study of anticataract properties of natural and synthetic antioxidants on development of experimental diabetic cataract in rats with alloxan diabetes.
