Polyphenol-enriched fraction of Vaccinium uliginosum L. protects selenite-induced cataract formation in the lens of Sprague-Dawley rat pups.

Conclusions: FH showed a preventive effect against cataract formation by inhibiting m-calpain-mediated proteolysis and oxidative stress in the lens. These results suggest that FH could be a potential anticataract agent in age-related cataract. PMID: 30820147 [PubMed - in process]
