AGE content in extracts prepared from the cataractous lenses of nondiabetic smokers (S) and nondiabetic nonsmokers (NS). AGE levels in supernatants (normalized for protein concentration) were determined using a competitive ELISA employing AGE-BSA as the coating and competing antigen and the values obtained converted to AGE Units as previously described (17). Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 20 for nondiabetic nonsmokers; n = 17 for nondiabetic smokers). The p value compares AGE levels in extracts from non-smokers versus smokers.
