POSSIBLE MECHANISM OF CYSTEINE PROTECTION AGAINST RADIATION CATARACT
Cysteine was found to arrest cell division in the lens epithelium of irradiated rabbits, and if given before irradiation the number of fragmented nuclei that develop afterward is reduced. Previous findings of the protection afforded by cysteine against radiation cataract were confirmed. Possible reaction mechanisms are confirmed. (C.H.)
