Great progress in molecular biology and medicine has made it possible to develop a novel, more selective chemotherapy based on signal-transduction principles. Signal-transduction pathways are identified by the cell as a device for the control of metabolism and proliferation. The transformation of a normal cell to a cancer cell is a complex multistep process. It is clear that hyperproliferation …
Cataract is the major cause of blindness in the world. Free radicals are sugested to be involved in cataract formation. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible role of free radicals, measured as lipid peroxide (LP), on cataract formation. LP was estimated by the method of Stringer, measuring the molondialdehyde (MDA) concentration in serum and aqueous humor of diabetic and non-dia…
