Table 1. Effect of peptides on lens protein content in rat lens.
Parameter | Control | redAdan | oxAdan | redABri | oxABri | Aβ (1–42) |
Total protein (mg/g lens) | 518 | 483 | 485 | 496 | 456 | 464 |
Soluble protein (mg/g lens) | 421 | 232 | 338 | 346 | 292 | 310 |
Insoluble protein (mg/g lens) | 95 | 240 | 135 | 141 | 150 | 145 |
% Soluble protein a | 81 | 48 | 70 | 70 | 64 | 67 |
Percentage soluble protein is calculated in relation to the amount of total protein
