EFFECT OF STATINS ON NORMAL AND GLUCOSE INDUCED CATARACT IN GOAT LENS

摘要: Background of the work: Cataract, a condition in which the lens becomes opacified, is one of the major complications of diabetes. Oxidative damage by the free radicals has been implicated in the pathology of cataractogenesis. Diabetes with dyslipidemia is a common finding where statins have clearly established their role as 1stObjectives: To study the effects of various statins on normal and glucose induced cataract in an in vitro model of goat lens. line drugs.
