Table 1. Concentration of ubiquinone in lenses of various species

There was marked variability in the concentration of total ubiquinone in lens between the different species. In the wet lens column, the values are means±the standard errors of the mean. In the Bovine row, the cortex contained 0.269 μg/g and the nucleus contained 0.304 μg/g.
