Dietary carbohydrate and the progression of age-related macular degeneration: a prospective study from the Age-Related Eye Disease Study.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Cross-sectional studies indicate that diets that provide a higher dietary glycemic index (dGI) are associated with a greater risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). No prospective studies have addressed this issue. OBJECTIVE The objective was to prospectively evaluate the effect

Dietary glycemic index and carbohydrate in relation to early age-related macular degeneration.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Several dietary factors have been linked to age-related maculopathy (ARM), the early form of age-related macular degeneration, and there is reason to think that dietary carbohydrate may play a role in the development of ARM. OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present study was to examine the

Molecular Mechanisms of Macular Degeneration Associated with the Complement Factor H Y402H Mutation.

Only registered users can translate articles

A single nucleotide polymorphism, tyrosine at position 402 to histidine (Y402H), within the gene encoding complement factor H (FH) predisposes individuals to acquiring age-related macular degeneration (AMD) after aging. This polymorphism occurs in short consensus repeat (SCR) 7 of FH and results in

Analysis of carbohydrate structures in basal laminar deposit in aging human maculae.

OBJECTIVE To analyze carbohydrate structures in basal laminar deposit (BLD), an extracellular material that accumulates between the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and Bruch's membrane. BLD has been shown to correlate positively with visual loss in age-related macular degeneration. METHODS Thirteen

Glycoconjugates of choroidal neovascular membranes in age-related macular degeneration.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a complication of multiple eye diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, that usually results in irreversible vision loss. It is characterized by proliferation and growth of choroidal blood vessels through Bruch's membrane into the

Optical Coherence Tomography Reflective Drusen Substructures Predict Progression to Geographic Atrophy in Age-related Macular Degeneration.

Only registered users can translate articles

Structural and compositional heterogeneity within drusen comprising lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins have been previously described. We sought to detect and define phenotypic patterns of drusen heterogeneity in the form of optical coherence tomography-reflective drusen substructures (ODS) and

Involvement of a gut-retina axis in protection against dietary glycemia-induced age-related macular degeneration.

Only registered users can translate articles

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the major cause of blindness in developed nations. AMD is characterized by retinal pigmented epithelial (RPE) cell dysfunction and loss of photoreceptor cells. Epidemiologic studies indicate important contributions of dietary patterns to the risk for AMD,

Metabolomic Profiling of the Aqueous Humor in Patients with Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration using UHPLC-MS/MS.

Only registered users can translate articles

Assessing metabolomic alterations in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can provide insight on its pathogenesis. We compared the metabolomic profiles of the aqueous humor between wet AMD patients (n=26) and age- and sex-matched patients undergoing cataract surgery without AMD as controls (n=20).

Structural characterization of bisretinoid A2E photocleavage products and implications for age-related macular degeneration.

Only registered users can translate articles

Fluorescent bisretinoids, such as A2E and all-trans-retinal dimer, form as a by-product of vitamin A cycling in retina and accumulate in retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells as lipofuscin pigments. These pigments are implicated in pathological mechanisms involved in several vision-threatening

Dietary Patterns, Carbohydrates, and Age-Related Eye Diseases

Only registered users can translate articles

Over a third of older adults in the U.S. experience significant vision loss, which decreases independence and is a biomarker of decreased health span. As the global aging population is expanding, it is imperative to uncover strategies to increase health span and reduce the economic burden of this

Nutritional antioxidants and age-related cataract and maculopathy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Loss of vision is the second greatest, next to death, fear among the elderly. Age-related cataract (ARC) and maculopathy (ARM) are two major causes of blindness worldwide. There are several important reasons to study relationships between risk for ARC/ARM and nutrition: (1) because it is likely that

Gut microbiota modify risk for dietary glycemia-induced age-related macular degeneration.

Only registered users can translate articles

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness world-wide. Although the etiology of AMD is multifactorial, diet and nutrition have strong epidemiologic associations with disease onset and progression. Recent studies indicate a role for gut microbiota in development of AMD in

Allelic heterogeneity of the carbohydrate sulfotransferase-6 gene in patients with macular corneal dystrophy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Allelic heterogeneity of the carbohydrate sulfotransferase-6 gene in patients with macular corneal dystrophy. Macular corneal dystrophy (MCD) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by grayish white opacities in the cornea. It is caused by mutations in the carbohydrate sulfotransferase-6

Association between dietary glycemic index and age-related macular degeneration in nondiabetic participants in the Age-Related Eye Disease Study.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the major cause of irreversible blindness. AMD appears to share several carbohydrate-related mechanisms and risk factors with diabetes-related diseases, including retinopathy and cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, to date, only one small study

Review of nutrient actions on age-related macular degeneration.

Only registered users can translate articles

The actions of nutrients and related compounds on age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are explained in this review. The findings from 80 studies published since 2003 on the association between diet and supplements in AMD were reviewed. Antioxidants and other nutrients with an effect on AMD
