Epidemiological and experimental studies have revealed that exposure to UV can induce
cataractogenesis. To investigate the mechanism of this induction, viability of the lens …

Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) can damage the
human lens and contribute to cataract formation. Recent evidence suggests that apoptosis in …

The purpose of this study is to observe dynamic morphological changes induced by
ultraviolet (UV) irradiation in a cultured human lens epithelial cell line using electron …

purpose. To localize p53 protein and active caspase-3 in the albino rat lens and to compare
p53 mRNA and active caspase-3 expression in ultraviolet radiation (UVR) 300 nm exposed …

Since ultraviolet light may be a contributing factor to cataractogenesis, we investigated the
response of the lens epithelium, a potential target for W insult, to WA radiation, Cell survival …

Cultured rabbit lenses and cultured rabbit lens epithelial cells were irradiated with UV to
correlate morphological changes in the epithelium with physiological changes in the whole …

The purpose of the present study was to investigate cataractogenesis and recovery of lens
damage after in vivo close to threshold ultraviolet (UV)-B radiation around 300nm. Eighty six …

PURPOSE: To investigate DNA damage in the rat lens after in vivo close-to-threshold
exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR). METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats received 5 kJ/m2 …

Cataract is a major ocular disease that causes blindness in many developing countries of
the world. It is well established that various factors such as oxidative stress, UV, and other …

Cataract is the most common eye disease that causes blindness in patients. Ultraviolet B
(UVB) irradiation is considered an important factor leading to cataract by inducing apoptosis …
