Effects of Vitamin E and OH-TEMPO (Spin Label Trap) on UV-Induced Dogfish (Mustelus canis) Lens Opacification Relative to Cytoskeletal Actin

Effects of Vitamin E and OH-TEMPO (Spin Label Trap) on UV-Induced Dogfish (Mustelus canis) Lens Opacification Relative to Cytoskeletal Actin

A study attempts to determine whether the damage to lens actin could be related to the action of free radicals or oxidants produced by ultraviolet-A irradiation. Results show that a photooxidative process degrades filamentous actin, and that alpha-tocopherol partially protects it in cells, whereas O...

Zusammenfassung:A study attempts to determine whether the damage to lens actin could be related to the action of free radicals or oxidants produced by ultraviolet-A irradiation. Results show that a photooxidative process degrades filamentous actin, and that alpha-tocopherol partially protects it in cells, whereas OH-TEMPO enhances this degradation.
