Interaction Information:

Comment The purpose of this paper was to investigate the effect of the oral administration of L-glycine (Gly) on the development of diabetic cataract induced by streptozotocin (STZ) in rats. Diabetic cataract gradually progressed in the STZ-administered group with no other treatment. Consequently, up to the end of the experiment, 2/3 of the animals in this group reached to the last stage of the cataract (mature cataract). The progress of this process was much slower in the diabetic group that was treated with Gly.

Comment Some lens parameters, including glycated proteins, advanced glycation end products (AGEs), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and aldose reductase (AR) activities, were increased while some others, including soluble and total protein, glutathione (GSH) level, and catalase (CAT) activity, were decreased due to diabetes induction. After Gly treatment, all the above-named parameters had reverse changes except for the CAT activity.
