Correlation between cataract and glutathione metabolism

Correlation between cataract and glutathione metabolism

Riboflavin status was studied in 156 older healthy people living at home in The Netherlands by assaying erythrocyte glutathione reductase (with and without FAD). The average activation coefficient of glutathione reductase was found to be 1.42 ± 0.19. 7% of the population studied showed cataract (bas...

Zusammenfassung:Riboflavin status was studied in 156 older healthy people living at home in The Netherlands by assaying erythrocyte glutathione reductase (with and without FAD). The average activation coefficient of glutathione reductase was found to be 1.42 ± 0.19. 7% of the population studied showed cataract (based on the eye examination). It seems that no correlation exists between cataract and riboflavin deficiency.
