Content and distribution of calcium in bovine lenses of different ages.
Calcium content was measured in five different parts of clear bovine lenses obtained from animals throughout the bovine life span of 0.3-24 years. In lenses of animals older than 6 years there is a moderate increase in calcium content with the most significant increase measured in lens nuclei. Differences in calcium content between age groups are discussed.
