Abstract:
The effect of myoinositol on in vitro peroxidation induced by hydrogen peroxide in human erythrocytes and human cataractous lenses has been investigated. The lipid peroxidation was monitored as levels of thio barbituric reacting substances (TBARS). Addition of myoinositol decreased the peroxidation effect of hydrogen peroxide in a dose dependent manner. The results suggest a new antioxidant property for inositol.
