摘要: In this report literature on transport and function of ascorbic acid in ocular tissues is reviewed. The role various regions the eye not well understood. It appears one important compound protection against oxidative damage, particularly photoinduced damage. contrast, data are also reviewed that suggest may participate modification lens proteins seen with aging.
