Antioxidant activity in cornea after UV irradiation upon premedication with SkQ1. Total antioxidant activity (a), glutathione peroxidase activity (b), and superoxide dismutase activity (c) in extracts of the rabbit corneas exposed to 312 nm UV irradiation (halogen lamp, 8 W) for 4 days, 20 min per day with or without premedication with 7.5 μM SkQ1 eye drops. *p < 0.05 compared with the values measured in control samples
