Research of the processes of lipid peroxidation in the lens and tissues in experimental cholesterol atherosclerosis
One of the models of experimental cataract is the model of cholesterol atherosclerosis. The study of lipid and peroxide metabolism of antioxidant enzymes in rabbits with cholesterol atherosclerosis showed that administration of cholesterol to animals caused activation of free radical oxidation processes in the lens and tissues. This model can be used in research and development of cataractogenesis inhibitory drugs.
