Abstract:Purpose
The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of apocynin, a natural methoxy-substituted catechol, have been demonstrated in various cell and animal models of inflammation. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the potential protective effects of apocynin on selenite-induced cataract formation, and to examine the effect of apocynin on the morphological grade of the cataract formation and on the biochemical parameters including malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione reductase (GR), and catalase (CAT)… Show more
