Antioxidants Help Prevent Loss of Certain Visual Functions In Laboratory Mice
Researchers At The Scripps Research Institute Shed Light On Protective Visual Function and Eye Health Benefits of Antioxidants
The study focussed on how Antioxidants help prevent some forms of loss of visual f
unction in mice.
Abnormal growth of blood vessels in the eye can result in impaired vision...
In a number of eye-damaging diseases (including macular telangiectasia and retinal angiomatous proliferation), the abnormal growth of blood vessels is associated with local degeneration of nerve cells, including those that detect the light that enters the eye (known as photoreceptors.)
In laboratory mice, a model of diseases such as macular telangiectasia and retinal angiomatous proliferation, researchers at The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, California have managed to prevent photoreceptor loss caused by abnormal growth of blood vessels without correcting the blood vessel defect.
Prevention of photoreceptor loss was achieved by both oral antioxidant supplementation and by cell-based delivery of factors that enhance nerve cell survival, development, and function. The authors therefore suggest that both these approaches might help preserve visual function.
The research appears online, Feb. 2nd, 2009, in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
