BIOCHEMISTRY OF AQH OF THE HUMAN EYE - A PHYSIOLOGICAL-AGING AND PATHOLOGICAL-CATARACTOUS STUDY
*Ajit. V. Pandya
Abstract
In the aqueous humor of the normal and cataractous human eye respectively the concentration of ascorbic acid is 118.04 3.26 μM /100 ml. and 45.92  1.24 μM / 100 ml; the concentration of GSH is 3.24  0.87 μM / 100 ml and 1.65  0.61 μM / 100 ml and the concentration of total proteins is 46.72  4.76 mg/100 ml and 53.24 5.08 mg /100 ml. Significant changes are found to occur between these three parameters under normal and cataractous condition. The concentration of these constituents varies in different types of cataract.This indicates that the changes in parameters are not entirely age dependent but are conditional in AQH of human eyes.
