Visual Cycle Modulation as an Approach toward Preservation of Retinal Integrity
Increased exposure to blue or visible light, fluctuations in oxygen tension, and the excessive accumulation of toxic retinoid byproducts places a tremendous amount of stress on the retina. Reduction of visual chromophore biosynthesis may be an effective method to reduce the impact of these stressors and preserve retinal integrity. A class of non-retinoid, small molecule compounds that target ke...
متن کاملAn Overview on Edible Oils with Integrity Approach
The issue of the integrity of edible oils and fats can be considered in three main areas of safety, authenticity and quality in accordance with the standardization approach. Safety is the most essential part of the food, including edible oils, due to effects on health of consumers. Authenticity equivalent to purity is also an important aspect of this approach. The nature and prevention of fraud...
متن کاملVisual cycle modulation in neurovascular retinopathy.
Rats with oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model the pediatric retinal disease retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Recent findings in OIR rats imply a causal role for the rods in the ROP disease process, although only experimental manipulation of rod function can establish this role conclusively. Accordingly, a visual cycle modulator (VCM) - with no known direct effect on retinal vasculature - wa...
متن کاملAn Approach toward Self-organization of Artificial Visual Sensorimotor Structures
Living organisms exhibit a strong mutual coupling between physical structure and behavior. For visual sensorimotor systems, this interrelationship is strongly reflected by the topological organization of a visual sensor and how the sensor is moved with respect to the organism’s environment. Here we present an approach which addresses simultaneously and in a unified manner i) the organization of...
متن کاملI-11: Optimal Strategy Toward Fertility Preservation
Background There are several indications of human female gamete cryostorage including sub-fertile and fertile patients. But our focus will be in women at risk of losing their reproductive function caused by oncologycal treatments or premature ovarian failure that could benefit greatly from this practice. Fertile women may take advantage of this technology to electively delay childbearing. The o...
