Figure 8

Photomicrographs of lenses: (a) normal lenses (normal control); (b) negative control lenses; (c) selenite-induced lens cataract treated with 30 mgkg⁻¹ ABE; (d) selenite-induced lens cataract treated with 100 mgkg⁻¹ of ABE; (e) selenite-induced lens cataract treated with 300 mgkg⁻¹ ABE. Yellow arrow: regular arrangement of lens fibres in the lens cortex; red arrow: lens epithelial erosion and abnormal morphology of lens fibres; white arrow: preserved lens integrity and normal architecture of lens fibres. The micron bar represents 100 μm.
