Anticataractogenesis and Antiretinopathy Effects of the Novel Protective Agent Containing the Combined Extract of Mango and Vietnamese Coriander in STZ-Diabetic Rats
Lens osmotic expansion, a crucial and reversible process, greatly triggers the rapid onset and accelerates the maturation of true cataract [3]; thus, this is the critical stage for the prevention of diabetic cataract. Cell swelling is the main feature of lens osmotic expansion; several proteins such as AR, P-gp, and Clcn3 are proposed to participate in this pathological mechanism.

Diabetic cataract differs from the age-related cataract; the robust factor is not the oxidative stress but the osmotic expansion of lens.
