The contents of copper, zinc and protein were determined in cortex and nucleus sections of cortical and nuclear cataracts. The results show that copper and zinc content increased in both types of cataracts, although more in the cortex than nucleus sections of the cataractous lenses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
