Protective effect of apelin-13 in lens epithelial cells via inhibiting oxidative stress-induced apoptosis
Apelin-13 reduced oxidative damage and apoptosis in HLECs through APJ. These results demonstrate that apelin-13 can be employed as a potential drug for glaucoma with cataracts to delay the progression of cataracts.
