Abstract
The soluble crystallins in lenses from diet-restricted and control mice of diverse ages (2, 11, or 30 months) were studied by high-performance liquid chromatography and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Results obtained with both methods suggest that dietary restriction decelerates age-related loss of soluble gamma crystallins.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
