This study included measuring some biochemical parameters (total protein, albumin, cholesterol, and triacylglycerides), in lens homogenates.The results revealed highly significant increase in the total protein concentrations, while albumin concentration decreased significantly, on diabetes cataract and no changes in cholesterol and triacylglycerides concentration happened when compared with control groups.
