Table 3. Kinetic parameters of rat lens and human recombinant AR in the absence and presence of tannoids of E. officinalis

Vmax is reported as μmoles NADPH oxidized/h/100 mg for rat lens AR or μmoles NADPH oxidized/min/mg for human recombinant AR. Asterisks (*) indicate a statistically significant difference from the values in the absence of tannoids (Student's t-test, p<0.001). Values are mean±standard deviation (n=5).
