Analytical Study on Activities of Enzymes and Antioxidants on Diabetic and Non Diabetic Cataract Patients.

LIFE SCIENCE

Biochemical data shows that oxidative damage to lens proteins plays a role in the origin of senile cataract and the progression of diabetes-related pathologic alterations, including the development of cataracts. This species may cause damage to the pancreatic islets, which might explain why diabetics have trouble producing as much insulin. Multiple phytocompounds found in medicinal plants have been shown to limit this enzyme's activity. Interaction with reactive oxygen species may lead to lipid alteration (ROS) Cataracts are the most common cause of blindness and vision impairment across the globe. Cataracts are clouding of the lens of the eye, brought on by age or diabetes (DM) Patients with senile cataract and senile cataract with diabetes mellitus had their lens capsule fluid tested for Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase activity after cataract surgery.
