Figure 2. Appearance of lenses from galactose-fed rats for 15 days photographed without background light

All control rat lenses treated with PBS showed hypermature (cherry pit) cataracts (A). The lenses treated with PBA, TMAO, and TUDCA show either hypermature cataracts (B) or mild pre-hypermature cortical cataracts (C-F). B indicates a lens treated with TUDCA, C indicates a lens treated with PBA, D and E indicate lenses treated with TUDCA, and F indicates a lens treated with TMAO. All lenses in galactosemic rats were hydrated and swollen presumably as a result of the accumulation of galactitol [54].
