ABSTRACT
Alpha and beta naphthols, the metabolites of naphthalene, a cataractogenic agent, was tested for it's effect on sheep lens proteases and their inhibitors. It reduced protease activities, not that of inhibitor activities of lens proteins. It also increased the efflux of free amino acid from lenses which was retarded by a high concentration of tissue galactose.
