摘要: Cataract, characterized by opacification of the lens, is leading cause preventable blindness worldwide. Currently, surgery most effective treatment for cataract. However, cost may place it beyond reach economically deprived individuals. Thus, need preventing or delaying progression cataract formation alternative therapeutic modality essential. This chapter reviews potential efficacy acetyl-L-carnitine as a nutraceutical protecting agent in selenite-induced virtue several mechanisms such maintaining lenticular antioxidant and redox components, complete inhibition calpain cytoskeletal protein loss, partial crystalline loss.
