Selenite and Ca2+ homeostasis in the rat lens: effect on Ca-ATPase and passive Ca2+ transport.

abstract：:The basement membrane of the crystalline lens of the diabetic rat was found to have a similar elasticity modulus at high stress to that of normal membrane. However, at low stress and extension Young's modulus of elasticity was 0.36 (Mean) +/- 0.15 (SD) X 10(6) Nm-2 and about 30 per cent lower than that of normal membr...
