title: Study of the relationship between free amino acids and cataract in human lenses.
abstract: There was a gradual decrease in the quantity of various amino acids associated with cataract formation due to reduced concentrations of glutamic acid, threonine, serine, glycine, alanine, leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine and tyrosine in stages of cataract formation.
