Effect of NACA on (A) GSH, (B) GSSG, and (C) GSH/GSSG in lenses of rat pups injected with Na2SeO3. a Treatment with NACA increased the GSH levels significantly when compared with the Na2SeO3 group. b Treatment with NACA didn’t show a significant decrease in GSSG levels. c Treatment with NACA increased the GSH/GSSG ratio, but is neither significantly different from control nor Na2SeO3 group lenses. Statistical Analysis was performed by one-way analysis of variance, followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison tests. *p < 0.05 compared to the control group and #p < 0.05 compared to the Na2SeO3 group. Values are reported as mean (n = 4) ± S.E
