Does the lens diameter increase or decrease during accommodation?
Right and left lens measurements were essentially identical. All measurements were reliable, repeatable and extremely accurate. The lens diameter consistently reduced during accommodation and enlarged during non-accommodation. The theories, similar to Tscherning's, which imply that the lens diameter increases in accommodation, are clearly disproven.
Non-fasting triglyceride levels have recently been identified as a major predictor of future cardiovascular events. Here we show that the capacity of the lipolytic pathway is a common determinant of both the fasting and non-fasting triglyceride levels and may thus play an important role in the development of dyslipemia and atherosclerosis.
