BIOCHEMISTRY OF THE LENS: VI. MINERAL METABOLISM IN THE NORMAL AND IN THE CATARACTOUS LENS

摘要: The effect of age on the metabolism lens can be studied by two diverse methods: Comparisons may made lenses representing different periods a species, or successive zones adult lens. Thus data quantitative distribution proteins in whole bovine from animals ages (fetuses, calves, steers, old cows) 1 parallel those derived analysis without inward. 2 Just as contrast biochemical findings cortex and nucleus normal gives an insight into aging process, so further comparison corresponding cataractous indicate to what extent influences degeneration. Certain mineral changes are characteristic cataract, namely, loss potassium gain sodium calcium. Since osmotic pressure tissue is dominantly
