It is my understanding that DNP inhibits the GALT enzyme in the liver (DNP causes several enzymes to become defficient). The result of this is an increased serum concentration of Galactose, the primary cause of sugar cataracts. Enzyme defficiency is more pronounced in women, the reason I'm not certain of and can't find the source for this info, and this is why women are known to be more at risk from cataract formation.
Exogenous Pyruvate does not coat the eye structures, more that it increase the rate of Krebs Cycle reactions, just 1 of many reactions in the body that is hindered by DNP.
The Galactose caused cataracts is most easily avoided by decreasing your consumption of dairy products, the catarcts are an indirect result of the breakdown of Lactose from milk.
Sorry if that dragged on, and FYI it goes way over my head any deeper than that!!
