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 b arbituric reacting substances (TBARS). Addition of myoinositol decreas ed the peroxidation effect of hydrogen peroxide in a dose dependent ma nner. The results suggest a new antioxidant property for inositol.
