ABSTRACT

Capra aegagrus hircus eye lenses were incubated in Ringer’s solution in presence of Cholecalciferol (vitamin D₃) (40,000I.U) for different time period i.e. 0, 15, 30, 45 minutes and 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 and 12.0 hours. The result indicated that the fortification of vitamin D₃ in the medium was more effective within first 15 minutes of incubation period consequently decreased the inorganic phosphate and calcium levels in lens.

Key words : Capra aegagrus hircus, Calcium and inorganic phosphate, Cholecalciferol (vitamin D₃), eye lenses, Ringer’s solution.
