Table 2. Effect of ginger on protein content of rat lens.

Parameter Group I Group II Group III Group IV
Total protein (mg/g lens) 480a±32.4 384b±22.7 434c±31.2 465a±35.8
Soluble protein (mg/g lens) 360a±27.3 198b±25.45 274c±40.5 310c±29.4
Soluble protein (%) 75.0 51.5 63.1 66.6

The total and soluble protein in the lens of different groups was estimated by the Lowry’s method and the percentage soluble protein content was derived from the estimated values. The data are mean±SD (n=4). Different superscripts denote that data are significantly different among the groups.
