Description
According to scientists cataract formation can be attributed to metabolic disorders in the lens. Instrumental neutron activation analysis was applied for the determination of antimony, cobalt, iron, rubidium, selenium and zinc in human lenses with mature cataract. The results are statistically treated and correlated with age and sex of patients. Based on these findings, the concentration of elements studied does not have any correlation with the age and/or sex of the patients. (author) 7 refs
