Abstract:Purpose Background: There are several theories regarding possible mechanisms leading to diabetic cataract. Few of them include oxidation stress. Aims: Investigation of the mechanisms of cataract formation under diabetic conditions, and examination of the effects of N‐acetyl‐L‐cysteine (NAC), (which is a precursor of glutathione and an anti‐inflammatory agent) and derivatives of Desferrioxamine (DFO)(which is an iron chelator and reduces oxidative stress) on diabetic cataract.
Methods The experiments included … Show more
