Journal ArticleDOI
Lutein and zeaxanthin are associated with photoreceptors in the human retina.
Olaf Sommerburg,Werner Siems,John S. Hurst,James W. Lewis,David S. Kliger,Frederik J.G.M. van Kuijk +5 more
TL;DR: Most of the carotenoids in the human peripheral retina are present in the ROS, associated with soluble or salt-dependently bound proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
The value of measurement of macular carotenoid pigment optical densities and distributions in age-related macular degeneration and other retinal disorders
TL;DR: The value of non-invasive quantification of macular pigment levels and distributions to identify individuals potentially at risk for visual disability or catastrophic vision loss from age-related macular degeneration is assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Concentration of Zinc in Sub-retinal Pigment Epithelial Deposits
Imre Lengyel,Imre Lengyel,Jane M. Flinn,Tunde Peto,David H. Linkous,Katherine Cano,Alan C. Bird,Antonio Lanzirotti,Christopher J. Frederickson,Frederik J.G.M. van Kuijk +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that zinc plays a role in sub-RPE deposit formation in the aging human eye and possibly also in the development and/or progression of AMD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macular pigment density and distribution: comparison of fundus autofluorescence with minimum motion photometry.
Anthony G. Robson,J. D. Moreland,Daniel Pauleikhoff,Tony Morrissey,Graham E. Holder,Fred W. Fitzke,Alan C. Bird,Frederik J.G.M. van Kuijk,Frederik J.G.M. van Kuijk +8 more
TL;DR: Autofluorescence imaging provides a fast non-invasive method for assessing MP in vivo and peaked optical density of MP increased with the total amount present, but the correlation was weakened by inter-subject differences in MP distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Xanthophyll accumulation in the human retina during supplementation with lutein or zeaxanthin - the LUXEA (LUtein Xanthophyll Eye Accumulation) study
Wolfgang Schalch,William E. Cohn,Felix M. Barker,Wolfgang Köpcke,John Mellerio,Alan C. Bird,Anthony G. Robson,Fred F. Fitzke,Frederik J.G.M. van Kuijk +8 more
TL;DR: During supplementation with xanthophylls, L is predominantly deposited in the fovea while Z deposition appears to cover a wider retinal area, which may be relevant to health and disease of the retina.
