| Abstract: | The lenses of ICR/f-strain rats with hereditary cataract were monitored in situ by laser Raman spectroscopy. The lenses used were within the age of 3-10 weeks before lens opacification became manifest. The reduction of protein SH group content and the increase of protein S-S bond content were observed in ICR/f rats in the precataractous stage. No significant change in the water content was observed. |
