Syringic Acid Extracted from <i>Herba dendrobii</i> Prevents Diabetic Cataract Pathogenesis by Inhibiting Aldose Reductase Activity

<table>Effects of syringic acid (2%) on AR mRNA expression induced by 0.5% D-galactose. The expression of AR genes is normalized using the housekeeper gene (<i>β</i>-actin), which is evenly expressed in rat lens cells. Compared with the normal control group, mRNA levels of the AR gene in the model group increased 4.32-fold and 1.53-fold in syringic acid groups, respectively.</table>
