EFFECT OF MALNUTRITION ON CORTISOL-BINDING PROTEIN IN THE LENS OF CYNOMOLGUS MONKEYS
1976
: A cortisol-binding protein exists in the lens of cynomolgus monkeys as in other species. The cortisol-binding capacity decreased markedly with a diet either moderately or severely depleted of protein, even if the diet was later changed to a normal diet during infancy. This suggests that malnutrition may cause insufficient synthesis of the important factors controlling the inactivation of steroid hormone in the lens.
