Abstract: Glutathione peroxidase activity (GSH-PX) and malondialdehyde (MDA) level of experimental traumatic cataract in rabbit were determined at various intervals after needling. GSH-PX activities decreased in the lens after perforated trauma from 8 hours to 21 days, meanwhile the MDA level increased markedly. The results demonstrate that free radicals are involved in the formation of traumatic cataract.
