Clouding of the eye lens or cataract is an age-related anomaly that affects middle-aged
humans. Exploration of the etiology points to a great extent to oxidative stress due to …

High levels of reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) cause oxidative
stress in the lens and lead to cataractogenesis. The present investigation was undertaken to …

Rabbit lenses were incubated, in vitro, for 20 hr. During the first 60 min of the incubation
period, the lenses were exposed to hydrogen peroxide at specified concentrations …

A controlled, randomized, double-masked study was conducted on eight human subjects to
determine the threshold level of hydrogen peroxide, which is toxic when introduced into the …

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of hydrogen peroxide on the epithelial cells of cultured
rabbit lenses. METHODS: Lenses were cultured in minimum essential medium containing a …

Oxidative stress has long been speculated to play an important role in cataractogenesis. In
the H 2 O 2-induced cataract model, rat lens showed extensive biochemical damage but …

purpose. To determine how nature would protect lens epithelial cells from H 2 O 2 stress, an
immortal murine lens epithelial cell line, αTN4-1, was subjected to gradually increasing H 2 …

AIMS To evaluate the effects of hydrogen peroxide exposure on the survival and
proliferation of cultured lens epithelial cells. METHODS TOTL-86 cells, a line of rabbit lens …

The duration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) exposure was examined in confluent monolayers
of human corneal endothelium (HCE) and human lens epithelium (HLE) by comparing 3 …

This article reviews recent studies that measured the metabolism of hydrogen peroxide
(H2O2) by the corneal epithelium and conjunctiva. These studies on human subjects and …
