摘要：
The concentration of leukotriene B4 in the aqueous humor of four patients with diabetic cataract and three healthy volunteers was measured using radioimmunoassay. The mean leukotriene B4 level in the patients with diabetic cataract was 0.78 +/- 0.15 pmol/ml, compared with a level of 0.63 +/- 0.13 pmol/ml in the healthy subjects. The difference between groups was not significant. Based on these results, we conclude that leukotriene B4 is not involved in the development of diabetic cataract.
