Macular carotenoid supplementation in subjects with atypical spatial profiles of macular pigment.
This study was designed to investigate the impact of macular carotenoid supplementation on the spatial profile of macular pigment (MP) in subjects where the profile does not exhibit the typical central peak (i.e. peaked MP at foveal epicentre). Thirty one healthy subjects with such atypical MP spatial profiles were assigned to one of three intervention groups: Group 1: (n = 10), 20 mg/day lutei...
متن کاملMacular pigment spatial profiles in South Asian and white subjects.
PURPOSE Variability in central macular pigment optical density (MPOD) has been reported among healthy individuals. These variations seem to be related to risk factors of AMD, such as female sex, smoking, and ethnicity. This study investigates variations in the spatial profiles of MPOD among ethnicities. METHODS Using heterochromatic flicker photometry (HFP), MPOD was measured at seven retinal...

متن کاملMacular pigment and lutein supplementation in choroideremia.
Choroideremia is an incurable X-linked retinal degeneration caused by mutations in the gene encoding Rab escort protein-1. A group of clinically defined and genotyped patients were studied to determine: (1) the degree of rod and cone dysfunction and structural abnormality in the central retina and the level of macular pigment; and (2) the response of macular pigment and foveal vision to a 6 mon...
متن کاملSupplementation with three different macular carotenoid formulations in patients with early age-related macular degeneration.
PURPOSE To investigate the impact of three different macular carotenoid formulations on macular pigment optical density and visual performance in subjects with early age-related macular degeneration. METHODS Fifty-two subjects were supplemented and followed for 12 months, 17 of them were in intervention Group 1 (20 mg/day lutein and 2 mg/day zeaxanthin); 21 in Group 2 (10 mg/day meso-zeaxanth...
