Lipids, Lipoproteins, and Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness among the elderly. While excellent treatment has emerged for neovascular disease, treatment for early AMD is lacking due to an incomplete understanding of the early molecular events. A prominent age-related change is the accumulation of neutral lipid in normal Bruch's membrane (BrM) throughout adulthood and also disease-re...
متن کاملTargeting Tissue Lipids in Age-related Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness among people over 50 years of age in the industrialized world (van Leeuwen et al., 2003). A cardinal clinical feature of the disease is extracellular deposition of lipid-rich deposits underneath the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) called drusen, which contain high amounts of esterified and unesterified cholesterol (Curc...
متن کاملبررسی اثر چندشکلی ژنتیکی xrcc7 با ریسک ابتلا به بیماریamd age-related macular degeneration))
amd بیماری تحلیل شبکیه است که عامل اصلی کوری در افراد بالای 55 سال در جهان غرب به شمار می-رود. در اثر این بیماری، لیپوپروتئین ها در شبکیه تجمع پیدا کرده و رگ زایی القاء می شود. ثابت شده است که عوامل ژنوتوکسیک محیطی مثل سیگار کشیدن، رژیم غذایی و نور در افراد پیر با زمینه ی ژنتیکی مستعد در بروز بیماری دخیل می باشند. بنابراین ما یک مطالعه ی مـورد- شاهـدی را ترتیب دادیم که شـامل 112 فرد مبتلا به am...
the genetics of age-related macular degeneration
age-related macular degeneration (amd) is the leading cause of blindness in old subjects. it is a multifactorial disease with both environmental and genetic factors playing some role in its pathogenesis. similar to many other genetic diseases, the inheritance pattern of amd does not fit into simple mendelian rules. these diseases are caused by the presence of multiple genetic factors and are ca...
متن کاملMacular pigment and age related macular degeneration.
The present concepts of the pathogenesis of AMD include cumulative light damage by oxidative processes in the macular photoreceptors as environmental co-factor for the development of AMD. The direct causative connection of this hypothesis has still to be established but wide circumstantial evidence from epidemiological and basic scientific investigations are strongly supportive. Macular pigment...
