Alterations of lens metabolism with experimentally induced cataract in rats.

Abstract:

:Rat lenses with experimentally induced cataract (either by naphthalene or by streptozotocin) were analyzed biochemically. Both noxae had some effects in common. Water-soluble protein and aldose reductase activity decreased, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphofructokinase and glutathione reductase activity increased. A specific effect of streptozotocin was the rise in glucose, fructose and sorbitol. A specific effect of naphthalene was increased amounts of water-insoluble protein.
