Anticataract Effect of the Aqueous Extract of the Flowers of Aspilia africana in Murine Model of Diabetic and Age-Related Cataracts by Adwoa Frema Amanfo, Samuel Kyei, Yaw Duah Boakye, Clement Osei Akoto, Justice Kwaku Addo, Kofi Oduro Yeboah, Newman Osafo

“…Similarly, the treatment with AAE caused a significant reduction (p≤0.0001) in cataract scores compared to the negative control rats in the selenite-induced cataractogenesis. Markers of lens transparency, such as aquaporin 0, alpha-A crystallin, and total lens proteins and lens glutathione levels, were significantly preserved (p≤0.05–0.0001) in each cataract model after AAE treatment. …”
