The Protective Effect of Sesamol in the Selenite-induced Experimental Cataract Model.

Objectives: To investigate the potential protective effects of sesamol in an experimental cataract model.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-one Spraque Dawley rat pups were randomly assigned into three groups, seven rats in each. All the rats except for those in the control group were injected subcutaneously with a single dose of sodium selenite on postpartum day 9.

Comparison of the impact of epigallocatechin gallate and ellagic acid in an experimental cataract model induced by sodium selenite.

Aim: To compare the potential protective effects of epi-gallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and ellagic acid (EA) in an experimental cataract model.

Methods: Twenty-eight Spraque-Dawley rat pups were assigned into four groups. All the rats, except for those in the control group, were injected subcutaneously sodium selenite to induce experimental cataract on the postpartum ninth day, and between 10 and 14 days.
