Introduction & Objective: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a disease affecting the central regions of the retina and choroid, which can lead to loss of central vision. Etiological research suggests that AMD is a complex disease, caused by the actions and interactions of multiple genes and environmental factors. Numerous studies have focused on the role of chemotactic cytokines, also kn...
متن کاملCigarette Smoking and Retinal Carotenoids: Implications for Age-related Macular Degeneration
The foveal region of the retina has a yellow pigmentation composed primarily of the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin. Past studies have shown that cigarette smoking depresses carotenoid concentrations in the blood. This is the first report on the effects of cigarette smoking on carotenoids in the retina. Macular pigment optical density (MP) was measured psychophysically by comparing foveal and...
