Carnosine et cataracte

cataracteLa cataracte - ou opacification du cristallin de l'oeil - est une des causes les plus importantes de perte de vision. Elle se développe lorsque la principale protéine de structure de l'oeil, l'apha-cristallin, forme des amas anormaux, opacifiant le cristallin et perturbant la vision. De précédentes études ont suggéré que la carnosine pourrait bloquer la formation de ces amas.
Des chercheurs italiens ont exposé en culture des tissus de cristallin de rat à une solution de guanidine, une substance connue pour former la cataracte, ou à une solution de guanidine et de L-carnosine. Les résultats ont montré que la guanidine rendait les cristallins complètement opacifiés alors que dans la solution de guanidine et de carnosine, les cristallins étaient 50 à 60 % moins opacifiés.
