Abstract
A subcutaneous injection of sodium selenite (30
umol/kg body weight) in 10—day old rats produced a
cataract within 72 hours. Lens opacification was
preceded by a 15% decrease in ATP content. Lens ATP did
not fully recover to control concentrations by 11 days
post—injection. A moderate correlation existed between
lens weight and total ATP content in control lenses
