We describe a new concept implicating oxidized cholesterol derivatives and very long-chain fatty acids as possible factors in the development of corneal opacification after death. Corneal tissues, removed from both fresh and stale fish eyes, were examined for cholesterol derivatives and fatty acids after methanolysis of lipids. Cholesta-3,5-dien-7-one, cholest-4-en-3-one, hexacosenoic acid, and hexacosenoic acid were identified via gas chromatography/mass spectrometry in opacified corneas, but not in significant amounts in fresh ones. The present study confirmed the presence of lipid hydrolysis and a peroxidation process in the opacified cornea. |
