Binding Between Ocular Lens Crystallins Linked to Cataract Formation Abstract As biological resistance against cataracts, proteins called α-crystallins in the lens of the eye are present to keep denatured crystallins from precipitating and forming cataracts. Over time, these α-crystallins are increasingly bound to denatured proteins and contribute to the conglomeration of other crystallins themselves. Since the eye does not replace these essential proteins, the incidence of cataract formation increases

Antioxidants, Bone Health, and Metabolic Process in Bodybuilding Antioxidants are molecules that inhibit the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that transfers electrons and hydrogen from a substance to an oxidizing agent. Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals and in turn, these radicals can start negative chain reactions. When these chain reactions occur in cells they can cause damage to the cell’s DNA that in turn causes muscle, joint, and tendon damage and
