Abstract:Purpose Epidemiological data indicate correlation between life long exposure to ultraviolet radiation and cortical cataract. There is no experimental data on the effect of daily repeated in vivo exposures of the eye to UVR. This experiment was designed to verify whether the dose additivity for UVR exposures holds through periods of time up to 30 days.
Methods Eighty rats were conditioned to a rat restrainer five days prior to exposure. All animals were divided into 4 exposure period classes of 1, 3, 10 and 30… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
