Syringic Acid Extracted from Herba dendrobii Prevents Diabetic Cataract Pathogenesis by Inhibiting Aldose Reductase Activity
Figure 1
Representative photographs of lenses of rats in different groups showing effect of syringic acid on lens opacification in vitro (×25). (a) Control group; (b) Med-dose syringic acid group (2 mg/mL); (c) Model group; (d) Catalin group; (e) high-dose syringic acid group (4 mg/mL); (f) low-dose syringic acid group (1 mg/mL). Compared with the model group, turbidity in Catalin group and all 3 syringic acid groups was clearly reduced. Optimal effects were observed in the medium-dose syringic acid group.
