title: Hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphatase dehydrogenase and aldose reductase in human fetal lenses.
abstract: The lens HK, G6PD, AR activity and its relationship with fetal age was determined. There is a positive correlation between the age of fetus and the activity (IU/mg pro.) of HK and G6PD (r = 0.8069, 0.8204, P < 0.01) and a negative correlation between the age of fetus and activity of AR (r = -0.810 1, 0.05 > P > 0.01).
