In vivo MRI assessment of bioactive magnetic iron oxide/human serum albumin nanoparticle delivery into the posterior segment of the eye in a rat model of retinal degeneration.

Retinal degeneration diseases affect millions of patients worldwide and lead to incurable vision loss. These diseases are caused by pathologies in the retina and underlying choroid, located in the back of the eye. One of the major challenges in the development of treatments for these

Identification of 4-hydroxynonenal-modified retinal proteins induced by photooxidative stress prior to retinal degeneration.

Only registered users can translate articles

4-Hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) is a reactive aldehyde species generated endogenously from the nonenzymatic oxidation of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids under physiological conditions. We have reported that intense white light exposure increases 4-HNE-protein modification in the retina prior to the onset

An ultrastructural study of nutritionally induced and reversed retinal degeneration in cats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Kittens and adult cats fed a semipurified diet containing casein developed a retinal degeneration that initially involved photoreceptor outer segments in the area centralis. By electron microscopy, cone and rod outer segment lamellar discs could be seen to become vesiculated, frayed, disoriented and

Manipulations of ACHE gene expression suggest non-catalytic involvement of acetylcholinesterase in the functioning of mammalian photoreceptors but not in retinal degeneration.

To explore role(s) of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in functioning and diseased photoreceptors, we studied normal (rd/+) and degenerating (rd/rd) murine retinas. All retinal neurons, expressed AChEmRNA throughout fetal development. AChE and c-Fos mRNAs peaked at post-natal days 10-12, when apoptosis

Inactivation of Endothelial ADAM17 Reduces Retinal Ischemia-Reperfusion Induced Neuronal and Vascular Damage

Only registered users can translate articles

Retinal ischemia contributes to visual impairment in ischemic retinopathies. A disintegrin and metalloproteinase ADAM17 is implicated in multiple vascular pathologies through its ability to regulate inflammatory signaling via ectodomain shedding. We investigated the role of endothelial ADAM17 in

Complement Factor H Mutation W1206R Causes Retinal Thrombosis and Ischemic Retinopathy in Mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms and rare mutations in factor H (FH; official name, CFH) are associated with age-related macular degeneration and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, a form of thrombotic microangiopathy. Mice with the FH W1206R mutation (FH^R/R) share features with human

Hyperactivation of retina by light in mice leads to photoreceptor cell death mediated by VEGF and retinal pigment epithelium permeability.

Only registered users can translate articles

Light toxicity is suspected to enhance certain retinal degenerative processes such as age-related macular degeneration. Death of photoreceptors can be induced by their exposure to the visible light, and although cellular processes within photoreceptors have been characterized extensively, the role

Closantel intoxication in a dog.

Only registered users can translate articles

A case of overdosage with closantel, a salicynalide derivative, in a dog is described. The dog received 6 times the recommended dosage. Closantel induced optic neuritis, retinal degeneration, partial deafness, hepatotoxicosis and myopathy. Only the blindness was irreversible. The therapy included

Low plasma taurine concentration in Newfoundland dogs is associated with low plasma methionine and cyst(e)ine concentrations and low taurine synthesis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Although taurine is not dietarily essential for dogs, taurine deficiency and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are sporadically reported in large-breed dogs. Taurine status and husbandry were examined in 216 privately owned Newfoundlands, a giant dog breed with high incidence of idiopathic DCM

Effect of phytanic acid on cultured retinal pigment epithelium: an in vitro model for Refsum's disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

Refsum's disease (heredopathia atactica polyneuritiformis) is an autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa syndrome caused by the excessive deposition of phytanic acid in ocular tissues. It is thought that phytanic acid causes retinal degeneration either by interfering with vitamin A metabolism in

Iron Accumulates in Retinal Vascular Endothelial Cells But Has Minimal Retinal Penetration After IP Iron Dextran Injection in Mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Iron supplementation therapy is used for iron-deficiency anemia but has been associated with macular degeneration in a 43-year-old patient. Iron entry into the neurosensory retina (NSR) can be toxic. It is important to determine conditions under which serum iron might cross the blood
