Table 2. The effect of glycine on the AGE fluorescence emission, glycated protein, and protein content of rat lenses.

Group name	Lens AGE (FI %)	Glycated proteins (μmol of HMF/mg pr)	Total protein (mg/lens)	Soluble protein (mg/lens)

D	82.6±5.9a†	1.87±0.30a†	10.19±3.10a#	4.79±2.28a#

Data are expressed as the mean±SD (n=6). “a” indicates the significance of the data that compares group N versus all groups. “b” indicates the significance of the data that compares group D versus groups of Glycine-treated rats. #, p<0.01; and †, p<0.001.
